I think that very much depends on what you mean with rationality. The kind of rationality this community practices leads for better or worse to a bunch of people holding contrarian beliefs that certain things are possible that general society doesn't consider to be possible.

In HPMOR you have "do the impossible", "heroic responsibility" and "having something to protect" all as part of the curriculum.
