I just found out the person that bought me rationality a-z only instrest in rationality is to justify his beliefs that one shouldn't aim to be right OR aim for progress.

It's a obscure field but vary similar to the rule of large numbers. Im trying to to the equilant to start a casino and so a develop new thery to show why the (equivalent to the)rule of large numbers is true and just says you've fellen into a logical paradox. I have to switch analigies here. We bs argeuing if wich areas the tortoise can reach quicker than achiles. He's saying the achillies is faster so we should use him to r To deliver the message for us. I say that we should use the tortoise. He says for most areas achllies is faster. I say that the in the areas we are limited to 99% of them the tortive is faster. Then i go on to explain how to determine how to calculate the areas that the tortoise beats Achilles or then he says you've fallin in a logical paradox you need to read Zeno. I got him to identify the local minimum trap he is in and gladly admits he's in it but he says thats how humans work and refuses to try to get himself out of it.
