A moral argument is often a good start.
Do you mean a utilitarian argument? Rational behavior helps us not kill each other and build more cool stuff, something like that?
A purely moral argument seems difficult; it would go something like, "Rationalism is good. Period."
Instrumental rationality as a tool for moral ends. Epistemological rationality as a tool for instrumental ends. Oh look, now we have to revise our worldview.
In fact I've never yet seen the relationship between epistemic, instrumental rationalities, and real world objectives, so clearly stated. Would it be ok to collect such material in the wiki ? Like, all those short, concise, illuminating quotes we stumble upon in here ?
No objection here.
Sneaky. I like it.
That is after all, how Christianity got sucker-punched the first time around.
