>>14363739no, paradox is not irrational, it's simply a state of pure potential within which mutually exclusive statements can both be true, since none of them are actual
it's out of this state of pure potential that you can derive logic, since logic is defined by what precludes paradox, i.e. a framework within which everything is internally consistent and contains no contradictions
from such a framework you can derive mathematics, which is the entirety of logical statements that can possibly be derived
from this one can thus derive all statements which must be true for reality, which is what gives rise to physics
within physics, we can see how this internally consistent reality transforms as a function of time, which is what chemistry is
these transformations give rise to specific crystallization patterns within reality, i.e. patterns which despite the surrounding chaotic chemical interactions stabilize and maintain a steep negentropic gradient, which is what we call geology (and this happens to be the origin of natural selection)
when such patterns combine into more complex structures which consistently not only keep themselves stable for long periods of time, but actually reproduce themselves fully or make similar copies of themselves, that's what we call biology
when these biological patterns become advanced enough to maintain an internally massively connected state that allows for modeling and predicting the outcome of specific expected and unexpected inputs from outside, that's what we call psychology, and it's this that allows such a psychological organism to discover and feed back into the state of pure potentiality by utilizing anything it can refine from it without violating the internal self-consistency of reality
this process has been known by many names, such as science, magic, engineering, thaumaturgy
