Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - “Virus will go away without a vaccine” Trump

good points OO/

you can push it: we have rational and irrational numbers. but the square root of minus one can't be placed into either category, so it is called imaginary. yet it is a factor used in determining questions of quantum and space time.

on simple logic, i like your point that the simple binary of rational/irrational doesn't define everything human or what surpasses the human.

like, what? a fela song when he lifts you. what is that?

Have you ever considered the complex point that what is NOT rational may not necessarily be irrational? — and that besides the rational and the irrational, we also have the NON-RATIONAL? Standard (or formal) logic essentially involves the ideal (crucially and rightly so), and lived experience often encompasses and surpasses the logic In question  In science (in general) and everyday life (in general), we (more or less) encounter certain knowns or quasi unknowns, certain known unknowns, and limitless unknown unknowns. Why? Probably because we are in the final analysis HUMAN beings (by default efficient AND deficient bings?). The paradox or antinomy of humanity!? ....

I would argue, Ken, that the "law of self-interest" explains this phenomenon. It trumps rationality and ideology. The action of the DOJ exonerating General Flynn of culpability in the Russian saga following the 2016 election exemplifies this opinion—leaving institutionalists, like brother John Mbaku, scratching his head. Institutionalists believe, among other things, that good institutions exist to further the legitimacy of any regime especially when the political system is attacked by rogue politicians.
