The alternative to rationality is arbitrary control by dominating corrupters. Persons without developed reality in their heads assume that arbitrary control is the only realistic way to do things. So they attack and break down rationality processes attempting to replace them with arbitrary control.

A dictatorship is obviously how the process works with government, but the same problem exists in all elements of social interactions.

With arbitrary control, the assumption is that realities can be wished into existence. Supposedly, the only obstacle to turning pretense into results is opponents standing in the way and demanding rationality. Getting rid of the opponents and rationality will supposedly solve the problems of pretending solutions to problems into existence.

This standard jumps out in the fake technology that has recently developed. The science and engineering are not credible, but empty headed persons do not know the difference. They are driven to prevail with pretended reality and assume they can make it work, if opponents can be gotten out of the way with what they call rationality.
