Can You Be Too Rational?

In most area of life where gene pool survival is at stake, your emotion is “smarter” than your rational if, and only if, the goal is to maximize reproductive success. Hell, even religions provide better strategy than rational mind.

Maximizing reproductive success is an important goal because it explains why people behave the way they do. That is, those who are around now are descendants and hence similar to those who maximize reproductive success in the past.

That’s why religious people and emotional people breed more kids. That’s why John Galt doesn’t.

Why I am doing all these?

Why free market forever? Why the site? Why all the writing?

Have you ever seen kids begging on the street and then some other kids bigger than them collect money from those little kids. That’s what I see every day I go out in my country. No body care about those kids.

Yet when one those poor teen (say after legal age) or her mom would prostitute her self or be second/3rd wife to rich males that can and want to afford her, every body screams exploitation.

Can we believe in God without faith?

My idea is if it’s possible, I want to be able to believe in God without needing faith. Are there evidences?

For example, the story of Sadrach Mesach and Abednego is a major story. Are there Babylonian records corroborating that stories? Why God wants us to have faith anyway? I know political leaders want us to have faith so they can trick us more easily. But why would God? Can’t the almighty convince humans of his existence in a more convincing way?
