“Why Aren’t Rationalists Winning” is quite a broad question. I prefer to ask myself “Why Aren’t Rationalists Winning at Chess”. I believe it has to do with insufficient education in openings and endgames.
Good point that its broad, maybe the reasons are domain-specific. You might be right about chess in specific, but I lean against concluding that insufficient eduction is the reason rationalists aren’t winning in most domains. Rationalists on average, are significantly more educated that the general population, and I’d imagine that gap grows when you take into account self-directed education.
