>if you read Popper

Thanks, I might actually go do this :) I recently got exposed to a very persuasive form of "rationalism is a social construct" by reading "Alchemy" by Rory Sutherland. But a theme in these comments is that a lot of these ideas are just recycled from philosophers and that the philosophers were less likely to try and induct you into a cult.



I read the book too! I really enjoyed it and I think they Popper and Sutherland would go along quite well.

Both advocate the principle of putting out a bold conjecture, test, learn, adapt.
