How do people aquire the ability to make decisions based on reason?

It seems to me that some people are better at using logic and reason to make decisions than others. Is the ability to use reason natural at birth and some force destroys it or does it have to be learned or taught?

They instead develop the ability to fabricate logical constructs and arguments to legitimise decisions that are instinctively/emotionally/culturally based anyway. Bust 'em down to their premises, and you'll find a whole lot of indefensible axioms, chosen along the lines of their culture, ethnicity, upbringing, family principles, early childhood experiences, education and adult experience.
