I try to contribute to things getting better, sometimes through polite rational skepticism.
Disagreeing with your comment ≠ supporting the opposite side, I support rationality.

    Yes, that’s a good example for something that follows the rational use case. But let’s not take a toxic relationship extreme, I think in the case of a human relationship, the sunk cost may sometimes positivly contribute to the affection/intimacy/love. The sunk cost created memories, habits, foundations for a relationship that you cannot just suddenly ignore and only look at what comes in the future.
    I think one must be careful about applying rational principles telling you to not listen to your emotions to subjects where reason doesn’t play the main role.
