  6. Would it be rash of me to suggest that we are currently living in the Age of Rashionalism? A time when arguments and detractions are made in such haste because we lack tolerance for anyone being wrong on the internet. Also we no longer have the attention span required to think anything through.

    It's a worry, but I can either laugh or cry.
