I agree with many of your points, though the practicality of your test methodology is… well, impractical.
I think rationality itself is one of the ideological blinders you speak of. Forget blinding, it can be totally debilitating.
Irrational morons can be quite successful by any of the usual measures: procreation, monetary wealth, even happiness.
Rationality is simply a point of view. It is satisfying and maybe even fun. But it’s not God. It’s not the “one true way.”
The world would be an awful place to live if everyone was “rational.”
