So, the truth value of "rationalists don't win" depends on your definition of "win"

Or the definition of rationalism. Maybe epistemic rationalism never had much to do with winning.

Upvoted, but I want to throw in the caveat that some baseline level of epistemic rationalism is very useful for winning. Schizophrenics tend to have a harder time of things than non-schizophrenics.
