Endorsing notions like "global warming is a better test of irrationality than theism" is a better test of irrationality than theism. More generally, engagement in vague tribal politics is a better test of irrationality than any object level belief. Liquor is quicker but meta is betta! Meta meta meta meta... MEH TAH! Sing it with me now!
What about endorsing notions like "Endorsing notions like 'global warming is a better test of irrationality than theism' is a better test of irrationality than theism"?
I think it's a sign of rationality, at least in context. Angels would likely consider it insufficiently meta, but man's intellect is bounded.
That is a decidedly ambitious use of the phrase "of course."
Heh, fair enough, I guess I don't actually have that good a model of angels. I'll replace "of course" with "likely".
