Moralistic Therapeutic Rationalism (MTR)

  1. A rational principle exists that ordered the world and governs over human life on earth.
  2. Rationalism wants people to be good, nice, and fair to each other, as taught by LessWrong and by most world religions.
  3. The central goal of life is to be rational and to feel smart about oneself.
  4. Rationalism does not need to be particularly involved in one's life except when rationalism is needed to resolve a problem.
  5. Rational people live forever when the Singularity happens.
