Claim that the stance in question is fairly canonical or standard for rationalists-as-a-group, modulo disclaimers about rationalists never agreeing on anything.
I don’t think this claim is correct. I have not noticed this being particularly common among rationalists relative to other similar populations, nor normative.
I think it’s probably unusually common among postrationalists, but those are a very different culture from rationalists, grounded primarily in not sharing any of the main assumptions common to rationalists.
