The question could be: is Western Society totally rationalized? Answer: probably far from that, a rough estimate is that in the 400 years since European Enlightenment 10% to 20% of the population of Western Societies became mainly rational in behavior. WHY is it then that this relatively small group has such tremendous influence? Answer: because this group behaves like a dominant hunting tribe.
To become member of such a dominant tribe rational behavior or high IQ is an important selection criterion. The myth is that rational behavior equals common sense. In reality common sense' is far more sophisticated and complex than 'rationality'. In fact 'rationality' is a tiny subset of 'common sense'. This selection does not make this mistake on purpose, but in believing this myth. But the result is equally devastating, society becoming dominated by sub-gangs that THINK to be more clever, but in reality are handicapped in intelligence.
USA is suffering most from spreading rationality. At reasonable distance followed by 'Great' Britain. Then again a small thought-canyon and then the rest a the rational Western World is lining up.
What is frightening is that organizations like UN, WHO, UNESCO, NATO etc. without realizing are part of this rational top-layer. I.e. there is no compromise, this asks for a Total Social Revolution 'attacking' the Western World, or a Total Paradigm Shift.
In fact that revolution already started. As to be expected it starts in a neighboring culture, i.e. Islam. And since all compromises have passed it might be bloody. The Muslim Warrior Osama Bin Laden organized a 'jihad', and until now is very successful.
But it need not become a totally 'bloody' confrontation. That takes a lot of wisdom (common sense) in Western Society, and a solution as I describe in The Israel-Palestine Conflict. I.e. the media in the 3 major cultures should instead of fuelling the conflict, work together in creating a new paradigm.
