It's true -- claiming rationality in the sense of being beyond the evolutionary effects of lust, envy and so on is a bit ridiculous.

I meant in the sense of being unable to acknowledge that I know thinking this way is wrong and silly, and still thinking it.

Mmhmm. There are many things that I rationally believe aren't true or acceptable, but react emotionally to all the same. Jealousy, for example. Still, I think it can improve with time.

The good thing is that you know you have this bias in your mind.
