Antirationalism in the political sphere generates a true dilemma for the progressive: take the high road and lose, or take the low road and make the problem worse. Of course, there is a more dire possibility, which is that you take the low road, make the problem worse, and still lose. This is, unfortunately, the most likely outcome of the effort to fight irrationalism on its own terms. There is, however, a third option. It involves restructuring the mental environment so that the voice of reason is more likely to prevail. This cannot be achieved through individual effort; it necessarily requires collective action. It calls for a new politics of rationality.
