I’m in for coining a new word to refer to exactly what we mean.
I find it kind of annoying that if I talk about “rationality” on say, twitter, I have to wade through a bunch of prior assumptions that people have about what the term means (eg “trying to reason through everything is misguided. Most actual effective deciding is intuitive.”)
I would rather refer to the path of self honesty and aspirational epistemic perfection by some other name that doesn’t have prior associations, in the same way that if a person says “I’m a circler / I’m into Circling”, someone will reply “what’s circling?”.
