If I want something, it's Rational. If you want something, it's a cognitive bias.

If they want something, the world is mad and people are crazy.

More succinctly: I am rational, you are biased, they are mind-killed.

None of these quite fit the "irregular verbs" pattern that Russell and others made famous; in those all three words should have overlapping denotations and merely greatly differ in connotations. Maybe "I use heuristics, you are biased, they are mind-killed", but there the "to use"/"to be" distinction still ruins it.

I have heuristics, you have biases, they have killed-minds.
