I get what you’re saying. I think you could be way more clear and articulate (took me about 3 reads to understand that you’re just agreeing with the well received parent, I think). I hope that is the reason for the downvotes and not simply people not wanting to hear that rationalism is just as dogmatic as anything it has displaced. Sure it’s better (in the more pragmatic sense), but it still depends on sets of axioms regarded as truth and fails to present explanations for plenty of observed phenomena. It also is strictly not philosophic so it can’t answer “Why?” nor can it yield any sort of ethical/moral framework(s) for understanding reality.
