The rationalist community over estimates its own importance and level of insight and they do not engage with the relevant literature
I like that take too for exposure of the field lf epistemology, but with epistemology you get more like truth axioms, but with rationalism your getting more of a paradoxical ponderings type scheme, such as solving food crises while expanding food production without killing people. And people are mad about the truth expressed like that, but epistemology brings that kind of thing to the forefront too so, rationalist can make much better forensics when paired with the truth and really is lacking a foundation without it
