Rationalwikism is a left-wing liberal, neoatheist, materialist, positivist and nihilistic ideology that seeks to attack everyone that is not left-wing liberal nor atheist. Mainly focused on spiritual people, occult people, supernaturals/mythicals, far left-wing and right-wing people. It is also characterized by the abuse of the terms such as "pseudoscience" and "pseudo(put the name of a subject here)" in a way you cannot even know the original meaning of the word. Rationalwikism cames from RationalWiki, and it can also be referred as Irrationalwikism.
"Rationalwikism should be countered, mainly by non-liberal leftists and by spiritual-supernatural people, but is is unlikely since they cannot even organize their own wiki with a SEO bigger than rationalwiki one."
"Rationalwikism shows that all social groups can have its own wiki and talk about everything they want, mainly about politics, religion, science, spirituality and supernaturality."
"I would like a left-wing supernaturalist version of RationalWiki for counter rationalwikism... But it is unlikely since we do not have enough left-wing supernaturalists for accomplish this."

Get the rational mug.*noun*; a method of representing the economy as the sum of many identical individuals and firms, each represented by a system of mathematical equations. The Rational Expectations Hypothesis (REH) takes its name from the premise that economic actors, i.e., everyone, do not make consistent errors about the present or future behavior of markets.
REH was devised mainly as a rebuke to Keynesian economics, and in particular, the strategy of fiscal policy or monetary policy.
According to the REH, fiscal policy does not alter aggregate demand because the "average" person recognizes that her lifetime income is not increasing--so she needs to save rather than spend the stimulus money, in anticipation of higher taxes in the future.
At the same time, monetary policy does not work because it relies on lowering interest rates to make more money available; more money means inflation, but people have to be deceived into thinking prices for their product are going up, so they will expand production. According to REH, people or firms will figure this out, and see increased demand as mere inflation. Instead of increasing output and employment, they'll want to raise prices so they can meet their future bills.
According to REH, both monetary and fiscal policy rely on illusions to work; and since people (on average) will make rational estimates o the future, they will defeat these illusions.

The rational expectations hypothesis states that we can break the realization of a return into an expected return that depends on the current information set and an unexpected component that depends only on new information.
