The not-”rational” (read “not central to the rationalist concept cluster in the mind/not part of the culture of rationalists”), but rational things we need to do.
The value of pretending, self-talk, I mention in another comment. The value of being nice is another not strongly associated with “rationalism,” but which is, I think, rational to recognize.
There are others. Certain kinds of communication. Why can’t any “rationalists” talk? The best ones are so wrapped up in things that betray their nerd-culture association that they are only appealing to other nerds; you can practically identify people who aren’t “rationalists” by checking if they sound nerdy or not. There’s probably a place for sounding a lot more like Steve Harvey or a pastor or politician if there’s any place for effectively communicating with people who aren’t nerds.
There are other anti-rationalist-culture things we should probably look for and develop
