Most casual Rationalist ontology specifies little distinction between "adopting a belief" intellectually vs. intuitively.

a difference between rationalist and meta-rationalist ontology is that the former constructs belief with intellect where the latter fluidly adopts beliefs on intuition. a belief show to be a useful instrument can than be fortified with intellectual constructs.

a traditional rationalist would reject the methodology as being haphazard and vacant, having quicksand as a foundation. a meta-rationalist critique of that is to point out that the axioms of rationalist belief are themselves intuitions shown to be instrumental via experiment.

starting from quicksand and hardening it as needed/appropriate is a better match for a nebulous ontology though and allows for adaptation when new evidence becomes available.

traditional rationalism is prone to getting stuck and not getting unstuck until it's torn down to the foundations and rebuilt. a very expensive process.
