I have a hard time thinking of ANYTHING positive in my life that's not due to rationality.

Friends and loved ones are pretty good in the general case :-)

But yes, learning to be less dumb is a general formula for success.

I don't really have friends except a few online ones, and if no for rationality's effects on mental health I probably would not have the ability to interact with family. So no, not even those.

I was wondering if that was the case, hence the "general case" disclaimer.
