Your point about the dangerousness of rationality is not on point.
My point is not that rationality is dangerous. It’s possible to formulate situations in which increasing the rationality of a population leaves the population worse off, rather like it’s possible to formulate situations that reward agents for having priors that would normally be stupid. The fact that you can contrive such situations doesn’t constitute a compelling criticism of rationality, which is what makes the video problematic. If rationality really were that dangerous, the implicit criticism would be entirely valid.
