A reaction about a real threat where we have to protect ourselves, something that we are consciously aware of. It comes from the human brain and is brought about by genetics. This kind of fear keeps us alert and can be somewhat of a challenge. However, an irrational fear is something we fear, even though there is no direct link or threat to us.
An example of a rational fear is being scared of getting eaten alive by a pack of wolves. An example of a irrational fear is public speaking.

Parody Rationality, also Mock Rationality, is the act of mocking rationality or rationalism in a satirical way. Parody Rationality can refer to criticism to excess of rationality or rationalism and it can also refer to the idea of use nonsense rationality and arguments in order to criticize excess of rationalism or even to the use of alternative forms of rationality, mainly appealing to spirituality and esoterics in order to criticize positivism, materialism or scientism. Parody rationality often seeks to chalenge rationality and rationalists but it can also have different purposes and goals.
“Parody rationality is really good to mess with neopositivists and with people who thinks literally everything should be based on rationalism, neopositivism and scientism. But it’s necessary to know how to use it for avoid situations like post-modernism usually to lead even parody rationality can be considered as a post-modernist creation as well.

When you're taking a shit and you are on the last foot of toiletpaper and you have to break it up into individual peices and split those peices in half. Toiletpaper rationing usually works best on 3-ply toiletpaper with little puppies on them, 2-ply with flowers is also acceptable.

"Irrational Rationalization", or "IR", is a commonplace, non-communicable infection of cranial cognition. People whom are exposed to this infection display a number of degraded brain cells, deprivation of motor skills, and failure to comprehend logic. "IR" is displayed when one, online, debates a fairly irrelevant point to an other. Hence the name, rationalization shown by the person infected is at a very low layer of mentality. For example, when the person debates about a sort of social media plot, the host will use derogatory language, such as, "faggot", a slang term created by humans because why not. Hosts also show many usages of deus ex machina, cutting into the other conflicts of people. One more way people exhibit "IR" is by collapsing on their own statements. This is a more widespread way of IR, utilized mostly on social media sites.
"IR" has no specific cure. However, "IR" is usually prevented by:
- Thinking more frequently
- Reading a book instead of performing inane stunts for publicity
- Avoiding putting gelid objects on your head
Psychotherapy sessions may be available for diagnosing "IR", although that is very unlikely.
