Actually, I find it hard to talk about rationality because everyone I would want to talk to about it would think it was completely obvious. I talk about biases and the like, and particular examples, the but the basic concepts tend to get responses like, "Well... yeah? And?"
EDIT: Note that this is somewhat of a self-fulfilling prophecy. The people I would want to talk to about it are the most likely to have already thought about these subjects.
How about talking about the solution to determinism versus free will, or "if a tree falls in the woods does it make a sound?"
The solution? Everyone would get the concept of the topics involved. Most of them would get bored and move the conversation along.
