Since The Rationality Quotient mostly showed that Rationality isn’t much of a thing on top of g, that means that despite not caring about the quality of arguments too much, other people aren’t suffering worse life outcomes. One can take it as an opportunity to be curious about why that might be. What might others who seem to be less explicitly/verbally committed to truth be getting right in other ways? I’ve found that spiritual communities are good for this, and more open to reflection than most, once the right semantic flags are understood and translated.
