“Rationalism” is up there with “Objectivism” in terms of “definitionally funny things to call your own belief system”.
“Yeah man I’ve been doing some thinking and philosophy and I’ve come up with a framework called Being Right”
it’s a very funny thing to call rationalism in particular, a pseudo-religious belief that hinges mostly on thought experiments and the eventual existence of god-AI we can totally predict in advance.
