  That's a good question, and one I'm not qualified to venture an answer. To the extent that rationalism produces works like Murray and Herrnstein's The Bell Curve, and for people like Sam Harris defends Murray's views on IQ[1], maybe. Looking around at some of the favored rationalist communities and seeing why they embrace people like Murray, Harris, Jordan Peterson, and Razib Khan would be a good first step in answering your question. 1. https://newrepublic.com/article/156330/charles-murray-never-going-away https://newrepublic.com/article/156330/charles-murray-never-...
