i absolutely concur that the methods of rationality are indispensable for analytic purposes. but one interesting tidbit is that if preference is only permitted at the beginning or end of the process, that allows very acute preference falsification pressure to be brought to bear

How’s that? (Is this about how there’s a “bottleneck” where Pure Emotionless Rationality is expected when determining the outcome of a particular action?)

"bottleneck" is a good word for it, though idk if you mean the same one i do. if the only time you get to inject your intuition/emotions/aesthetics is in picking axioms or desired outcomes, it'd be irrational not to expect there to be immense pressure to choose the ~right~ ones

I don’t see how restricting the moral scope of intuitions, thus reducing their power, would lead to people caring *more* about which intuitions are used.

if you say that morality is absolute and not relative, it suggests that disagreeing with you on a moral matter is like trying to claim that 2 + 2 equals 5

if there's a "right" answer, then ipso facto any other answer is wrong.

That’s the opposite of what I’m saying. Rationality is universal and objective, moral intuitions are personal and subjective.

(Rationality is universal and objective is a really hard argument to make- what convinces you?)

The question of which action best achieves a particular goal doesn’t involve a specific person, so it’s not inherently person-dependent. Of course, rationality is carried out by individual different people, and nobody is perfectly rational.

Everybody is perfectly rational. But, since our weighting of constraints and information is determined by emotion, and emotion differs from person to person and moment to moment, what seems rational to me might seem utterly insane to you...or to me, two seconds later.
