rational blue balls

The extreme mental and sometimes emotional frustration that comes from trying to reason with someone who is not using rationality to drive their decisions (e.g. religious fanatics, conspiracy theorists, etc.)

John: Hey have you heard about this documentary called "Plandemic" - it's about how THEY created the coronavirus in order to enslave us with a vaccine that everyone "has to take".

Peter: What the fuck are you talking about John? I watched it and it's clearly horseshit. No one in that video is credible and almost all of them have been debunked as crackpots elsewhere...why are you telling me about this shit?

John: Dude, you don't understand, THEY have a plan and we are going to lose our freedom, bro. Why can't you see? Don't be a sheep, man!

Peter: Thanks John, now you've given me rational blue balls. I need to go talk with a reasonable person and maybe I'll feel better.

rational fear

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

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.

RationalWiki

A wiki run by people who, for some reason, are unable to express their political stance in a direct way. It's also a snarky wiki where the only article that contains absolutely no snark is Socialism.

A: I think it speaks volumes about your ideological beliefs when you gather people to write thousands of pages of tongue-in-cheek material on nearly every ideology ever known except one. That's what RationalWiki does.
B: No, that's just being rational, and you are being irrational for saying that.
