Well, somewhat. I would make this 'clarify' but being that it's be first post I have to take a side. I see humans as both the most rational and least rational race. At many times we all just let emotions and feelings run our life. But on the other hand, there are many of us (well more like a few of us) that do live out their lives using logic. Side: Yes... more or less

We are ruled by our instincts that are unconcious. We have internal desiers which we are not aware of. All taht we do is adding rational argumentation to our irrational urges. You'll know what am I talking about if you have read Freud, Jung or psychoanalysists. Id- our irrational part, ego - rationalisation of desiers if forms of argumentation and speech, superego - ideals. Last two arise from the first one. Side: No
