Don’t paint the entire “tech world” with the EA / Rationalist brush. Been in “the tech world” since 1990 and I can’t say I have met a single such wacko in person, just online 🤷🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

EA and rationalism aren’t inherently wacko either. Rationalism as an epistemological view just means basing opinions and actions off of logic and reason rather than faith, tradition, or sensory experience. I do feel that’s a pretty essential pillar of the tech industry. It’s still worth thinking about how and where that sentiment manifests, or what that can turn into.

“Whole” was an overreach, I could have worded that better.
