someone who is paid to think rationally about this sort of thing, and who is recognized to be very good at doing so
Does rational mean the same in this context than how the word is usually used on LW? Or does ‘rational’ mean something that is academic, uses certain kind of words, seems rational to outsiders etc..
Yep, it means the same thing, or close enough. Of course there are measurement problems, but the intent behind the pay is for it to reward rational thinking in the usual sense.
