rationals
Integers divided evenly
Rationals are people who prioritize reason and logic over emotion or intuition in their thinking and decision-making.
The term appears in personality frameworks and online communities where it often carries self-congratulatory overtones: As a rational, I don't let feelings cloud my judgment.
In mathematics, rationals (or rational numbers) are numbers expressible as a ratio of two integers—fractions like 3/4 or -7/2, as opposed to irrational numbers like pi.
