Irrational Rationality

Professor Bruce Hood declares that human beings will always be superstitious because they are hardwired to be irrational. He bases this on the fact that no matter how hard he tries to persuade people otherwise, they continue cling to ideas that he does not hold, such as preferring cherished possessions with all their history to so-called "exact" copies, dislike for being lied to about a pen supposedly belonging to Albert Einstein, refusing to wear the cardigan of a mass murderer, believing in religion, and concluding that Professor Hood's ideas are a load of illogical twaddle.
