  Mu. The most basic rationalist precept is to not forcibly impose your values onto another mind.

  It is? Last I heard, the two most basic precepts of rationality were:

  1. Epistemic rationality: systematically improving the accuracy of your beliefs.

  2. Instrumental rationality: systematically achieving your values.

  (Typically with a note saying “ultimately, when at odds, the latter trumps the former”)
