There's A Measure of Rationality Now

[Krypton]

Well, it's in the works still. But that it exists is pretty cool, and the applications mentioned in the article are useful. I'd personally want to see it used for government policy as well (putting people in charge of agencies that score high, etc.)

I'd wonder also whether there's a use for irrationality in some fields (inventions, for instance) as one could brute force a solution to a problem a rational person might abandon. But it can work the other way too.

I don't have much to add to the article though. What are people's thoughts?

I'll be the judge of that.

There's a fine line between genius and insanity, as the saying goes.
I don't need popsci to tell me that.

It's kind of like a bell curve, as are most things.
Lots of people in the middle, moderately insane and rational.
Some stupids/crazies as outliers who start to make sense again the more stupid and/or crazy they are.
