Sometimes, you just get a good idea

I'm going to write a song, and my song is going to be called "You're not as rational as you think", and it's going to be about how everything that you think is a reasonable belief is possibly flawed, how haven't thought hard enough about your deeply held convictions, how you don't understand yourself, so claiming to understand people as a whole is totally absurd.

The last verse is going to be about how you can't prove that the universe didn't start five minutes ago, and furthermore, you can't prove that you're not a brain in a vat, with your circuitry for formal logic removed or replaced with something that gives you wrong answers when you try to do mental arithmetic.

Hrm, Whitney or Yaël, can I borrow an accoustic later on?

Yes, but does it have a catchy chorus? A sweet beat?
MY GOD MAN! YOU JUST CAN'T START PRODUCING MUSIC WITH OUT SOME RESEARCH INTO WHAT THE PEOPLE WANT!
