So, yeah, I’m asking you about something which you haven’t claimed is a crux of a disagreement which you and I are having, but, I am asking about it because I seem to have a disagreement with you about (a) whether rationality realism is true (pending clarification of what the term means to each of us), and (b) whether rationality realism should make a big difference for several positions you listed.
For what it’s worth, from my perspective, two months ago I said I fell into a certain pattern of thinking, then raemon put me in the position of saying what that was a crux for, then I was asked to elaborate about why a specific facet of the distinction was cruxy, and also the pattern of thinking morphed into something more analogous to a proposition. So I’m happy to elaborate on consequences of ‘rationality realism’ in my mind (such as they are—the term seems vague enough that I’m a ‘rationality realism’ anti-realist and so don’t want to lean too heavily on the concept) in order to further a discussion, but in the context of an exchange that was initially framed as a debate I’d like to be clear about what commitments I am and am not making.
Anyway, glad to clarify that we have a big disagreement about how ‘real’ a theory of rationality should be, which probably resolves to a medium-sized disagreement about how ‘real’ rationality and/or its best theory actually is.
