You are mistaken as to the philosophy being discussed. This is about Rationalism as conceived of by Yudkowsky the guy who managed to convince a bunch of techbros that he’s a genius despite having no high school education.

Oh okay so people just abused a word to mean something that it doesnt and it caught on. Wonderful.

Yeah, the guy who coined it has nothing past 8th grade so it is yet again a poorly educated IAmVerySmart type with racist notions leading the right like Limbaugh before him.
