Very insightful comment. My only quibble with it is that some of its points could be better fleshed out. For instance, when they say that it is difficult to intellectually know the impact of our actions, that can be made precise. Human society is a complex system which exhibits chaotic behavior and it is provably impossible to predict the consequences of actions. Turning to 'passion' and intuition because reason can lead one astray, though, seems slightly ludicrous. Passion and intuition are the outgrowth of brain processes and we know that these processes are very flawed in often predictable ways. It is true that reason can not guide you with precision, but also true that intuition will misguide you. We're left in the difficult position of only having 2 poor choices. Reason, at least, can recognize its own limitations and admits for course corrections if negative consequences are seen.
