Right. Has anyone ever surveyed successful people at large on their views on rationalism? I wouldn't guess that most successful people are rationalists but I would definitely bet that a very significantly higher number of successful people are rationalist then the population in general, even if it's still a small number.
Then again, having a stated preference for philosophical camp at all probably corresponds highly with success against the population who is totally uninterested or hasn't gotten enough education to be exposed.
Either way I don't buy the premise.
