Reasonable Crash Out

When you Crash Out but the situation is so messed up you’re justified.

Person 1: Yo! I just saw our neighbor setting her husband’s car on fire!

Person 2: Wait didn’t he cheat on her with her best friend while she was pregnant?

Person 1: Yeah, I think so.

Person 2: Eh, reasonable crash out, I would’ve done the same.

Reasonable Crashout

To add some context, a “Crashout” is used to describe what happens when someone gets so mad they lose their composure. In turn, a “Reasonable Crashout” is when someone loses their composure but for a justifiable reason. The term “Reasonable Crashout” works to further describe the situation as not all Crashouts are considered viable and normally but the perpetrator of the Crashout in a negative light,however, a “Reasonable Crashout” automatically shows that the people who aought to be blamed are the people who caused the person to Crashout and not the person Crashing out themselves.

NOTE: Reasonable Crashout is also sometimes called a Necessary Crashout

A. “ My neighbor beat up the local pool boy for sleeping with the his wife, so it was a Reasonable Crashout.”

B. “My teacher gave me an F- for putting my name in the wrong corner, time for my Reasonable/Necessary Crashout!”

Reasonshitpost

The tactical deployment of hyper-rational, often coldly utilitarian arguments to dismiss ethical, emotional, or social concerns as "irrational." It involves reducing complex human situations to crude cost-benefit analyses or biological imperatives, then presenting this reduction as superior, clear-eyed reasoning. It's a performance of detached rationality used as a cudgel.

Reasonshitpost Example: In a conversation about artistic funding, someone argues, "Reason dictates we defund the orchestra. Its utility-per-dollar is negligible compared to STEM grants. Music is just ordered sound waves triggering pleasure chemicals; we can synthesize that cheaper." This reasonshitpost uses the veneer of rational calculation to dismiss art's cultural value entirely.

Reasonpost

Similar to a logicpost, but focused on dictating the specific mode of reasoning that is acceptable (e.g., purely utilitarian cost-benefit analysis, strict biological reductionism). It frames this mode as “reason itself,” branding other forms of reasoning (deontological, emotional, intuitive) as “unreasonable.”

Reasonpost Example: In an ethics debate, someone states, “The only reasonable way to judge this is through a utilitarian calculus of net happiness. Any appeal to ‘rights’ or ‘dignity’ is an emotional appeal, not reason.” They’ve set a reasonpost, excluding entire ethical traditions from the domain of valid discourse.

recons-hiling

that moment when u might have done something wrong and admit it

OR,

more realistically you realize you were right and everyone should switch to YOUR opinion

"After recons-hiling, I am so glad we could agree that I am always right!"

Reason Biases

The broadest category: biases that affect how reason itself is understood, valued, and practiced. Reason Biases include: treating reason as a faculty rather than a practice; assuming reason is separate from culture, history, or embodiment; privileging Western traditions of reason over others; using "reason" as a gatekeeping concept to exclude non-dominant ways of knowing. Reason Biases are what happen when reason becomes a possession rather than a process—something some have and others lack.

Reason Biases "He keeps saying 'just use reason' as if reason were simple, universal, available to all equally. That's Reason Bias—ignoring that reason is practiced differently in different traditions, that access to reason is shaped by power, that 'reason' often means 'my way of thinking.' Reason isn't a light switch; it's a lifetime of learning. Bias makes it a weapon."

Reason Metabiases

Second-order biases about reason as a faculty, practice, and ideal. Reason Metabiases include: treating reason as a possession rather than a process; assuming reason is separate from culture, history, or embodiment; using "reason" as a gatekeeping concept to exclude non-dominant ways of knowing; believing that reason's authority is self-evident; ignoring the ways reason itself is constructed and contested. Reason Metabiases are what happen when reason becomes an idol—worshipped rather than used, defended rather than examined.

Reason Metabiases "He keeps saying 'just use reason' as if reason were simple, universal, and his. That's Reason Metabias—treating his particular reasoning tradition as Reason itself. Reason isn't a thing you have; it's a practice you learn. The metabias is thinking your practice is the practice, not one among many."
