Is there a grand figure of rationalist philosophy? Someone like a rationalist “Satre” or “Heidegger”?
I think a lot of the weirdness of rational communities comes from them not properly integrating the existing canon of western philosophy and rediscovering pitfalls.
Without the benefit of centuries of discussions it’s easy to come to strange conclusions.
I agree with your diagnosis as well. It's Dunning-Krueger. They keep re-inventing the wheel poorly due to their ignorance which is maintained because of their confidence which stems from their ignorance.
