It seems to me that in the context of Hammers and Nails, rationality is a community of Nails organized around the problems of heuristics and biases. The problem will be considered solved when we can reliably become Hammers because we have developed successful strategies that can be applied whenever such a heuristic or bias may reveal itself.
I think it is worth distinguishing this point because the heuristics and biases are innate to ourselves, so we can expect to have no choice but to become a Hammer in order to think clearly and correctly about whatever object-level problem we encounter.
For most powerful rationality technique I nominate shut up and multiply, because it avoids lots of heuristics and biases by deliberately invoking System 2 and it has a very strong track record (such as technology).
