I’m looking for a single word that means, well, unreason. (in the context of, “listen to reason”, I’d like to be able to say “Listen to <opposite of reason>”)

Help me singletrack, you’re my only hope!

Yup, jam bo’s nailed it

ignorance?

Democracy

“That’s a load of Farage and you know it!”

“Let’s drop the Farage and be reasonable about this?”

Google seems to be working:

disbelief, ignorance, misinterpretation, mistake, misunderstanding, physicality, stupidity, unsoundness, block, discouragement, hindrance, insanity, charge, indictment

Imprudence?

Insanity

EDIT: pipped to the post

La déraison = unreason. It’s in the title of a book.

Irrationality, perhaps.

Dogma.

Have you ever tried using facts to challenge the view of someone dogmatic? ie: your average anti-cycling driver, racist or believer in ever-rising house prices 🙂

Pandemonium

saltana

Dogma

Isn’t that covered by “UKIP”? 😉

Dogma is very good! Feels good too. Irrationality is good too but doesn’t flow. I like la déraison too though.

Accountancy ?

Faith

Reason = sense

Unreason = nonsense

hora. Listen to hora.

hora. Listen to hora.

I like what you did there, but this is trying to come up for a name for a bike and I am not riding Hora.

Religion +1

Has it got 26″ wheels, straight steerer and a triple crankset?

I’d Listen to Bonkers. And ride a bike called Bonkers.

“Are you going to be on the SS tomorrow?”

“No, I’ll be riding Bonkers”

FACTS

Interesting how there’s only one word for “reason”, but a huge choice to describe it’s opposite…

Ah. You know Dogma’s taken don’t you? 🙂

I like FACTS, but you’ll have letters landing on your desk.

Shame FACT(s) and Dogma have been taken, they’re the best ones (apart from mine, obvs.) Hardly surprising, I wouldn’t like to have to come up with bike names. I have some sympathy with the firms who just do numbers.

Not listening is the opposite. You could ‘ignore all objectivity’ or close your mind to reason, but unreasoned is as close as you’ll get??
Dogma is still reasoned if not necessarily reasonable.

bit lengthy for the top tube though?

Faith.

There was Faith bikes back in the 90s/00s wasn’t there? Jump frames?
