You must choose between unreason and America. You cannot have both. Take your pick?

Answer 1

Graythebr... is throughly sound ,, BUT in this context I must vote for pinochet1... ,, he meant want he said ,, I understand him ,, and I am of the same mind ,,

IN the light of our eventual species' fate and the ugly options available ,, and at what cost ,, I pick reason ,, thereby America. The space programs are also a Humanitarian exercise , in that the genome is doomed to re-wirte itself where ever you shall send it. Since Humanity is the genome's answer to planet Earth ,, it shall be shere coincidence that it is also the answer for another planet. We are almost sure of non-humans , regardless had the seed been human.

It the realm of industry , engineering and physics ,, that of human thru-put ,, I pick reason.

It is because of America that we today do not have to succumb to ISO ,,

,, global trade is an American creation.( I meant "creation" ,, making something , where before there was none.)

,, ASTM historically had been issued "free of charge" to all 3rd World ports ,, such that their Customs can have a basis to operate.

,, she is very likely the only country whose policy makers "understand" the frontiers of science ,, thereby the very sensible rejection of the Kyoto when oceanic methane hydrate (also mentioned by Hawkings in his answer as CO2) can also kill us about 6(SIX) times over.

,, the only country whose biggest guns are off-shore.

,, the World have not even come to realise that Iraq I is reference war ,, and no subsequent war had been a technology staging exercise , since . It shows that no foe (except Russia , and he's no foe today .) can begin to gauge the American tooling.

,, the country which identified "oestrogen bombardment" in the human food chain.

Answer 2

Unreason is defined and can never change. America is always changing, and although currently is not making great decisions at the government level, there is potential for something better, and change can happen. Because unreason will always be inferior to reason, and because America has the potential to be something really great, I choose America.

Answer 3

As someone who teaches logic, I could not help but be struck by the irony in your question.

You see, one common type of fallacy (error in reasoning) is either/or thinking -- assuming that there are only two choices. Usually there are more, and the assumption that the two are mutually exclusive usually falls apart on close scrutiny, too.

So you yourself have chosen unreason, simply by using either/or reasoning in your question.

I somehow suspect that you meant to pick America, however, which just goes to show you that the two are not contradictory.

Answer 4

This must be a trick question since present day America (assuming you mean USA) is one of the world's major breeding grounds for unreason.

Answer 5

Give me a reason why. If you have no reason you have no means of making a choice.

Answer 6

your logic is flawed, there is no debate in unreason.
