A hard lesson for our side. While we’re arguing fine points of rationality, the fighting begins by some loon doing something stupid - something I term “the nuts move first”.

Look at this thread, look how many FReepers are trying to put logic to the situation. They don't seem to understand that you can't use logic to determine what illogical people are going to do.
We go to McDonalds and order Chicken nuggets and they tell us they are out we tell them: "Well give me a Filet of Fish then" or we say "The I'll take a Big Mac." These people call 9-1-1 or start ranting and raving and start a mini riot right there in the lobby. Is it logical to pick a car at random and surround it and pull people out and beat them? Is it logical to walk down the street and pick a person at random and shoot them or beat the hell out of them because you are bored or just needing some fun? Is it logical to drive over to the park and spray it with automactic gun fire and kill innocents in the process because you think someone there "dis'd" you?
Yet as I said look how many on this thread are trying to put logic to the situation. These will be the first to get hit. They will walk blindly right into it,between their Norlamcy Bias and lack of situationaly awareness they won't even know what hit them. Whille they are they are being beaten beaten and killed they will still be trying to figure out the logic of their illogical predicament.
