Any activity done for pleasure is irrational.
Or is pleasure rational? I contend that it is not -- emotion and bias play too
big of a role for pleasure to be wrapped up in a tidy package. It's part of
the human condition.
Please note that I am not talking about sheer physical pleasure, as that is
simply the reaction of certain impulses racing along nerve pathways. Pleasure
as a whole is much more complicated than that.
That said, pick away. :-,
