Comments.Text: An intelligent person in the film Jurassic Park brought back the dinosaurs. A rationalist asked whether they should. Strictly speaking, you don't have to be highly intelligent naturally to be a rationalist. Instead, you have to be willing to put in the time thinking and researching about the right course of action.
