I think Cummings wants to “raise the sanity waterline.” But rather than argue about that, I think a better definition of “rationalist” is someone who writes about how to think and how to win, particularly in a way comprehensible to LW. He certainly fits that definition.
(I would like to exclude Scott Adams who claims to write about these subjects, and from whom I do learn, but who does not write precisely.)
