What we need is a rationality equivalent of a katana or a machine gun. One for each student, some basic training and even ninja masters go down pretty quickly (unless they really can dodge bullets). Occupatio "weapon of mass rationality".
Perhaps the notion of an 'art of rationality' is completely misguided. Why are we relying on the skills of individual people who evolved to be irrational when systems can be built for the purpose of giving rational answers? Why walk to the answer when you can drive?
Following this analogy, you still need to people to get good at driving, at choosing between vehicles, building vehicles, knowing when a particular vehicle is or isn't appropriate and not driving the school bus when drunk.
Some spectacular crashes have been caused by driving systems built for the purpose of giving rational answers without due care and attention.
