I feel a similar way to you in that rationalism is part of my core identity. Why do you think talking about rationality/rationalism will make you loose social status? I’ve often broached the topic with people in work, my friendship groupm, debating etc and have never had any problems.
Hm. Perhaps I’m concerned over nothing then. I was specifically afraid of standing out, of cult associations, and my general feeling is that rationality is seen as this cold, inhuman thing. Like I once had a girl tell me she was glad I didn’t see things in terms of winning like everyone else does… and that’s exactly how I see them. I just include nice things under my definition of victory.
