we might be better served by avoiding the term “rationality” and coming up with something else.
My friends label me as “rational” (or alternatively, “hyper-rational”) when talking about my stereotypically Spock-like characteristics. I’m all in favor of splitting up the overload on the word.
If we invent a new word, and the word will become famous enough, sooner or later Hollywood will make a movie using this word to describe a protagonist who does not completely satisfy the definition and also has many unrelated weird traits, and then we are back at the beginning.
