        The illusion that we are "rational" has done more damage than good, and if we were to just embrace that emotions are not just real, but a stronger influence on people's behaviour (and therefore reality) than any facts, we might start getting somewhere as a species.

Let's ditch the notion that we are civilized altogether. We aren't.

On the same note we should acknowledge that we have a intellectual limit and that we should all aim to understand where the limit lies.

this is true on the neurons' level in your brain. I also only agree that it's rational because my emotions allow me to accept such rationality

I feel like most people do get this, but aren't very good at defining how exactly rationality breaks down and where.
