"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.

When a person is given permission to use something only in an emergency and their rationalization of what constitutes an "emergency" becomes laxer and laxer each time they want the thing.
I told Bob he could use my car only in an emergency but last night his creeping rationalization made him think that missing the basketball game was an emergency.

A wiki mostly dedicated to debunking antiscience movements and other quackery aswell as countless other articles dealing with logic and current events. Often touted as being biased towards the left a more accurate definition might be biased towards facts.
Hillaryforprison88: The stupid leftys at the rational wiki think being egalitarian means your a chauvinist
Normaldude14: Actually if you read the article it explains how egalitarianism and feminism are not mutually exclusive and that egalitarianism in almost certainly a good thing, and that people who claim to be egalitarians instead of feminist have fundamental misunderstandings of what feminism is and instead choose to lump all feminism into one monolithic ideological project.
Hillaryforprison88: Wait that is reasonably abstract and complex and doesn't instantly fit into my world view, therefor it must be irrational

2. Something not physically scary, but mentally terrifying yet very real...like an "aw, shit" moment.

Examples of rational fears:
That 90 pound Rottweiler that's about to latch onto your ass like it was a big, meaty, steak.
That 15-year old girl's father after he found out you were studying anatomy instead of geometry.
Worrying that you're gonna flunk geometry because you were studying anatomy instead of geometry.
