Rationale is logic applied quickly. It is logic that is relative, which obviously will lead to bad decisions by squirrels. In squirrel world, judging vehicular speed has been much less necessary than limb jumping accuracy. Thump thump.

Actually I don't completely agree with that.
I think that in Dick's definition of rational thought you can also include the "gut feel" "I'm pretty sure that's right, but I have no evidence for it" kinds of processes that I agree with him, are in fact the source of "new" and "creative" ideas that don't necessarily start with logic (although they may be backed up by logic after the fact!)...maybe this argues that the "logic applied instantaneously" is really a third type of reasoning...
Lots of people think I'm a dumb blonde, but that's okay, it doesn't really bother me much!
Cheers,
Buffy
