Oh well. I guess we’re both talking past each other. It’s a bit puzzling. I can usually eventually understand other people’s worldviews, but I find yours unusually resistant :)
“Man proposes, Nature disposes” is basically correct. Lots of things don’t work. In fact, since there aren’t any absolute truths (outside math and maybe QFT) nothing works perfectly consistently.

The meta-rational question is: how can we use rational methods effectively, given that they aren’t about Objective Truths? We agree that we *do* often use them effectively, and that this is very important. I think that an accurate understanding of how that can be should help.
