supergeeShakesville speaks up for being unreasonable. I'm with them. As George Bernard Shaw said, reasonable people accept the world as it is, so progress is the work of unreasonable people.
I got my unreasonableness from science fiction. I imagine the time when people look back with horror and condescension at a primitive world where people had to be different sexes to marry and we couldn't just throw all our garbage in the Recycler. When I started reading the stuff, it was people having to be the same "race" to marry and not having cheap pocket-sized machines to do arithmetic better than we could.
