The conscious mind does some pretty stupid things too. Like becoming a catholic priest. That sort of thing consigns your potentially-immortal essence that's responsible for your very exisence to the trash bin.

If this is a battle to see which system is the more stupid, we could be looking at examples of insanity from both sides all day.
