Rationalism is maligned by many on Left & Right as intellectual snobbery (i.e. faith in one's own rationality). But really, rationalists are the 1st to admit they are irrational, because they know they are apes. Rationalism is not a claim to rationality, but an aspiration to it.

I agree on the first part, but the second one is really debatable. Have you seen the people who claim the label of Rationality lately? Their heads are pretty far up their own asses but they still claim their shit doesn't stink.

Every movement on earth has people with heads up asses. I don't think it's a sufficient basis for categorising a worldview.
