> I say it this way because you talk about rationality "breaking down" as if it's some sort of default.
I'm sorry, can you please explain how you come to this conclusion based on what I wrote:
"however the part of it that has "rational debates" is not an intrinsic behavior. that part is based on cognitive skill which will perform to a greater or lesser extent based on current brain state."
I'm not really arguing with you, as your first point seemed to be some kind of "but what about...!" that didn't really negate what I was trying to say. However if you think I was saying something completely different, that would make more sense for whatever it is you're attempting to "argue".
