Do you mind expanding on “no room for being skeptical” and how that relates to my first paragraph? I am curious on the connection. Is it that the authors of the posts who are the subject of my criticism of not sounding “universal enough” in their posts, prefer rationality, and so they are not skeptical enough of it as to make it more accessible for other types of people? Or is it something totally different..
I meant that rationality is about systematically getting what you want, and is independent of moods/emotions. One could be a highly emotional rationalist if you are still making the right decisions.
I prefer Dagon’s comments though. Mine wasn’t particularly helpful.
