Reverse Rationalism

Reverse Rationalism is a stance which is practically incomprehensible that seeks to be the opposite of what classical rationalism is about, it coniders atheism, anti-theism, laicism, state atheism, scientism, materialism, physicalism, positivism/empirism and naturalism as being irrational while it considers theism, anti-atheism, anti-anti-theism, discidism, state spiritualism, state religion, theocracy, anti-scientism / extrascientism, anti-materialism / extramaterialism, extraphysicalism, post-positivism / post-empirism, spiritualism, spirituality, religion, esoterism, occultism and supernaturalism as being rational, it basically believes that everything considered as irrational by reverse rationalism should be countered while everything considered as rational by reverse rationalism should be promoted and even encouraged.
"Reverse Rationalism makes sense, somehow, if we consider what people like the ones on RationalWiki and on Quora actually do, and how several spiritual, esoteric and occultist groups have a lot of good explanations about reality and existence as well."

intra-rationalism 

Postulate that humanity moved from polytheism to monotheism when they switched from uncooked to cooked cuisine.

The idea that changes to your spiritual manifestation are facilitated by changes to your diet.
Intra-rationalism is the hypothesis that belief in a single unity might have been facilitated by cooked food.

super-rationalism 

The paradigm that the minimum material-cost-to-profit-ratio (inverted; in trillions) is the purchasing power of the entire body politic.
In America; the material cost of acquisition must be 1:14 in order for the retail-service provider to provide a profit.

Super-rationalism would thus portend the aggregate purchasing power of the American consumer to be--in totum-- fourteen trillion dollars.

Late-Stage Rationalism

An ideological rigidity where "rationality" is treated as a possession of the in‑group, and all other forms of knowing—emotion, intuition, tradition, embodied experience—are dismissed as inferior or pathological. Late‑stage rationalism confuses its own cultural assumptions with universal reason, demands that others adopt its preferred modes of argumentation as the only legitimate ones, and cannot recognize its own biases because it has defined itself as bias‑free. It creates communities where emotional expression is mocked, philosophical nuance is rejected, and anyone who disagrees is simply "not being rational."
Late-Stage Rationalism Example: "He told her that her grief over the death of a pet was 'irrational' because the pet had no future utility. Late‑stage rationalism: using the banner of reason to justify emotional cruelty."

Vince Dao Nationalism

In sales terms, a whale is a prospect that is significantly larger than an organization’s average customer.

Whales are large and extremely difficult to close. Due to their immense size, they are highly sought-after.

A whale is typically identified at first by a whale hunter on the sales team, but often requires cross-discipline participation in order to close; this includes assistance from operations, engineering, creative, client success, and business development teams.
"Shit...the sales director chewed me out on the sales call this morning. He's totally pissed that I have nothing in my pipeline. I've been focused on this one whale for so long that I haven't had time to prospect for normal-sized deals."
