Meta-rationality
People assume that the rationalists in the LessWrong forums are logic worshippers that only think in Bayesian statistics. I'm sure many of them do. But actually, their genesis book Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality, by Yudkowsky, is a cautionary tale about the extremes of rationalism. Yes, Harry is able to run circles around wizards with his command of statistics, but Voldermort is an evil master logician, symbolizing the danger of deploying rationalism without morals. So in the end, it’s more like a philosophy of “meta-rationalism,” on the discernment to know when the mode of rationality makes sense. Still though, I imagine that nuance is lost on many in and out of the community..
