Well, I do not agree with that statement. Even if most individuals are not acting on rational basis, it does not mean that Man is not a rational animal. Man exercise thought and reason in a volitional manner. Wether he decides or not to do it is another thing. So many peoples *actively* avoid thinking and yet, it is the only way they could survive if it were not of others... In a sense, they are free-riders. To think and use reason requires efforts. I guess that they just do not like exercising...
