> Can one be a rationalist and still believe that, “the universe if fucking lit” and marvel at how wonderful it is? I believe being rational allows one to really experience the depth and breadth of the place we are in.

Based on observations of the Rationalist community over the years, I would say that it is possible as a rationalist, but not as a Rationalist, in that they tend to believe our knowledge of reality is limited to that which is endorsed by science.
