Also how would one come to recognize reality’s irrationality anyway? By which I should clarify, when I say reality I mean the whole of existence, beyond everyday society which is a mush of reason, emotion, and ambiguous causation. In turn, when I’m talking about irrationality, I don’t mean emotionality or ambiguous causation, but an absence of any underlying reason or cause.

If at some point we reached out and dug deep enough into study of existence only to find that some things simply happen or emerge without any cause whatsoever…What might be the response?

    I don’t think that the human mind would allow that to be a conclusion. Like others have pointed out, some would ascribe the “thing” as happening from a supernatural origin, others would say we just haven’t found the reason for it.

    I don’t think we have evolved to understand that something can happen without any cause.
