You seem to be taking the opposite tack as in this video, where rationality was best for everyone no matter their cause.

I usually use "rationality" the way most economists use the word, but Eliezer has chosen to use the word differently here, and I am trying to accommodate him.

Eliezer's proposal seems worse than your one in this thread to me - partly since it seems so irregular. I think trying to talk him down would be the most sensible strategy. "Truth-seeker" is terminology which is good enough.
