> Libertarians are only slightly more rational than liberals. Both are significantly more rational and less emotional than conservatives.
What is your basis for that claim? Go on r/conservative and you’ll see plenty claiming the opposite.

What’s the basis for saying that’s “significant”?

That's how the study described it IIRC.
>>Rational does not guarantee correct, if you don't consider all the variables.
Of course, but a rational mindset is more likely to base its beliefs on evidence and logically sound suppositions, and thus be correct, than an emotional one.
>>What is unique to Libertarians I know is an arrogance about the objective correctness (because of their lack of emotion and rationality) of their philosophy.
I think the willingness of adherents of non-libertarian ideologies to use the force of the state to force peaceful people to bend to their will reveals a greater arrogance. I find "live and let live" to show the greatest humility, but I suppose this is all subjective.
