You go to a bar where some stranger offers to sell you "some good shit, blow your mind".
The irrational decision is to buy the junk and take the risk of death, or worse a really boring time.
The rational choice is to demand the dude take the drugs he is selling (you get to choose which one) to see if they are fatal or not.
You walk into a seedy bar and shout that all the guys are limp-dicks and not worth a toss. Is this irrational and dangerous?
You decide that your life is crap and you decide to cut yourself. Is this irrational and dangerous?
You roommate starts collecting guns and acting paranoid, you do nothing. Is this irrational and dangerous?
You give up on yourself and stop working. Is this irrational and dangerous?
You know that the tap water is impure but you keep drinking it. Is this irrational and dangerous?
this web site is called Rational Skepticism. I can see you are skeptical. What is your definition of rational?
