What Is Rationalism?

Rationalism is about the stance of trying to correct errors for the purpose of making progress and improving things. The rational thing to do is to continue to correct errors. And we apply rational methods that error correction and all of them. But constructing ideas in your mind is not the same as constructing the world. It really isn't. There's a world out there. Each culture constructs its own world, its own man old, the top of the common foundation provided by human neurology and instinct. That objection is as predictable as it is hopelessly wrong.
