I've been watching this comment thread unfold with a mixture of frustration (it's verging on flamewar) and curiosity.
As someone who is fairly steeped in the rationality-loving tradition and those ways of making sense of the world that are common in tech, I'd ask the following:
Can you or someone else on this thread point to a gentle introduction to the types of thought besides rationality that you're thinking of and how they're grounded? Is it possible for someone who accepts rationality to follow and credit these arguments without having to take any new beliefs as axiomatic?
Put another way, can rationality guide me at least part way to some of these other things?
