I have never liked the “rat” nickname. I’m not a filthy rodent. I’ve never heard the term “rationalish” before now.
I’ve always resisted using the term “rationalism”. I feel like “-ism” is a misstep into politics (and already the name of the 17th-century anti-empericists). We practice “epistemic rationality” and “instrumental rationality”, together, “rationality”, not “rationalism”.
