rationalussy

One of the lower holes of a rationalist, including the rationalists who say they're "post-rationalists" or "I'm not a rationalist, I'm something else I don't have a term for yet"

I'm hoping to get some rationalussy tonight, might try name-dropping Yudkowsky.

Rationalussy

The opposite of a logical fallacy. Examples include affirming the antecedent, appeal to logical validity, post hoc ergo post hoc, ad evidentiam.

My argument was not a strawman fallacy, but a fleshman rationalussy.

rationalussy

A derogatory term for people who use their rationality as an excuse for cowardliness

"Dude, if we defect in this prisoner's dilemma we'll make millions. I guess you're just a sad little rationalussy."
