Well, it is more Rationality, than rationality, aka using the lesswrong Rationality method. It uses the 3 B method, Blogging, Bayes and ... wait I'll come in again.
A lot of it is the belief that there is *always* a “right” way to do things. Michael Oakeshott’s Rationalism in Politics dismantles the type of person very nicely, and it was written around 1950. His delicious phrasing is “the assimilation of politics to engineering”. LW to a tee.
rationalism in the sense of constructing a mental model of the world from first principles (and never mind facts)
