(By the way, I worry that this phrase would sound cultish to anyone who wasn't familiar with Hofstadter's superrationality.)
Yeah. I had thought about the bad connotations, then remembered that the usual superlative of "rationality" around here is "x-rationality". But I hadn't thought that this doesn't change how an outsider would perceive the phrase.
I learned superrationality in school. Not the name Hofstadter or anything about why superrationality is sane though.
The only problem with 'superrationality' is the connotation that CDT is rational. It's just not!
