A long summary (as is typical for ‘multi-part’ episodes; this is the second of three episodes on rationality, which is bridging to three episodes on wisdom). I think the rationality debate is mostly… old news, or something? It’s nice to see the ‘purely academic’ version of it, but there aren’t really any surprises, and Vervaeke is coming at it from a view that seems pretty close to “rationalists should win” to me.
