Scott could do all those things and be a rationalist-adjacent. He’s a rationalist under my typology because he shares the sincere yearning and striving for understanding all of the things in one modality, even if he is okay with the utility of sometimes spending time in other modalities. (Which he doesn’t seem to, much, but he respects people who do- he just wants to understand what’s happening with them.)
