There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity. |
Fighting pseudoscience isn't free. We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $10, $20 or whatever you can today with ![]() ![]() |

"Rationality" is a bit like "Ethics"[edit]
If you want to try to understand this website, imagine it was called "EthicalWiki" - i.e. it was filled with people with a claimed devotion to ethics. Now, any website composed of people with a claimed devotion to ethics, will be convinced that whatever particular ethical views they have chosen are right, and that others who adopt a different view are being unethical. Substitute "rational" for "ethical", and you have this site. But, just as it would be rather a waste of time to argue against the ethics of such an EthicalWiki - "you claim to be ethical, yet you say X is (un)ethical, when clearly it is not!" - it is equally a waste of time to argue about the rationality of this site. Since no one can agree on what is ethical, trying to found a site on a claimed devotion to ethics-in-general, as opposed to a particular ethical viewpoint, is incoherent. In the same way, as the term "rational" is as fraught with disagreement as "ethical" is, this "RationalWiki" can fare no better. (((Zack Martin)))™ 12:03, 15 June 2015 (UTC)
