You misunderstand me. No-one is worshiping Yud-Suthoth and calling it rationality. You proposed, in essence, that we disregard everything connected with religion—this is precisely the fallacy “reversed stupidity is not intelligence” is intended to address. When this was pointed out, you responded with what can only be charitably interpreted as meaning “but religions are irrational!” which isn’t really addressing his point, or indeed any point, since no-one is proposing starting a religion or for that matter joining one.

Something like that is happenning. For instance, sending people off to the sequencs to find The Answer, when the sequences don’t even say anything conclusive.

That’s just a slogan, not some universal law.
