and you're known to be irrational,
-
people are forced, by dint of your irrationality,
-
to treat you better.
-
Who am I going to take from?
-
The person who's extremely reasonable
-
or the person who has a hair-trigger temper?
-
Well, I'm going to pick on a reasonable person
-
because the unreasonable person
-
might do unreasonable things.
-
And this is faintly paradoxical, but often to be irrational,
-
or at least to have a reputation for mild irrationality,
-
gives you an edge.
