Ah, I think that I have been using the words as near synonyms. I understand the distinction, (now, I think) but what of increasing intelligence? Will study in general rationality help improve cognitive speed/capacity through the “compression effect” described above by multifoliaterose?
Obviously, I can’t say for sure, but I personally think that increased rationality probably won’t make you more intelligent in the speed sense.
I do suspect that since both intelligence and rationality, being more rational does help you solve problems faster in a sense similar to how being more intelligent would.
I also suspect being more rational is more helpful than being more intelligent; it’s easy to use your big brain to shoot yourself in the foot.
