It’s just recycling the same Ayn Rand bullshit for a new generation, including using a name which pushes linguistic prescriptivism from the get go. Actually I kind of think this is the first layer of IQ test they use to weed out anyone with more than minimal cognitive activity.
“Bruh, it’s called rationalism, aren’t you rational?”
It’s just so stupid and transparent from the get go, and I am convinced that’s the entire point. Once they bring you in on that premise they can sell you whatever they want.
What I find fascinating about the “Rationalist Community” is how they expect to attract new people when what they are selling is basically the opposite of what they are providing. Anyone interested in actual rationalism would pretty quickly realize the “Rationalist Community” is not that.
