If we’re talking about wish-fulfillment fiction, I’d like most of the fulfillment to be causally attributable to rationality rather than some other quality (especially inborn).
It seems I made this point on LW many times, but few people agree. Oh well. The first time was my response to Yvain’s recommendation of R. Scott Bakker. So I’m not singling you out for criticism, if that makes any difference.
