Hi there, author here. By telling the personal story of how I inherited the rationality meme, I hoped to offer my own critique of rationality. I intended for the sentences you quoted to imply a subtle darkness to rationality, with phrases like "tamed" and "no nook or cranny of nature is safe." Maybe those aspects were too subtle. But just wanted to clarify!

- seltzered_ 4y agoThanks for the clarification! Yeah, definitely felt a hint of the subtle darkness trying to be expressed.
