If a man convinces himself that a tiger is an illusion, the tiger himself will intervene in a conclusive manner
Not the most elegant rewording—anyone got anything better?
If you see a tiger and convince yourself that it’s an illusion, the tiger can still object—very convincingly. #rationality

If you see a tiger and convince yourself that it’s an illusion, the tiger can still object. Very convincingly.
Or, using more of the original words.
After a man convinces himself that a tiger is an illusion, he will find out that he’s wrong when the tiger conclusively intervenes.
More direct, more deviation from original quote:
If you see a tiger and convince yourself that it’s an illusion, you may be evicted from the gene pool.
This made me laugh, combined with all the other positive feedback, let’s make it the inaugural tweet of @rationalitweet
When are you doing the next tweet?
I just tweeted the most voted item here, but given the limited uptake of this page, I don’t see this idea becoming self-sustaining. Interested in taking the reins of the account?
Maybe just run the thread once a week in the discussion or something?
I’m just not sure how much demand for it there is.
I found this one a lot funnier and more memorable.
The only downside I can think of is that it might increase inferential distance. Maybe. I feel like most people would still understand it.
