Another thing I could pinpoint is that I don’t want to identify as a “rationalist”, I don’t want to be any -ist.
I’ve always thought that calling yourself a “rationalist” or “aspiring rationalist” is rather useless. You’re either winning or not winning. Calling yourself by some funny term can give you the nice feeling of belonging to a community, but it doesn’t actually make you win more, in itself.
