What makes this a rationality quote?
Am I reading too much into this quote when I think it's referring to not crushing people's beliefs when they're incapable of surviving the damage to their Self? When I look at that (out of context, as I have not read the source) I'm seeing that without breakfast (a sturdy base to build upon) the character is not ready to have their beliefs destroyed.
Please don't hastily dismiss my quote, I haven't had breakfast yet.
The minus one must be for not seeing two fallacies and a bias in such a pretty package. Oh well, can't win em all.
The -1 was partly for posting a quote that appears to have nothing to do with rationality, but mostly for being a smartass.
