Your Definition
A [performative] form of rationality where the actor claims to be rational while controlling the conditions that define rationality, ensuring that their own behavior appears rational and their opponent’s appears irrational. Stage rationality is often deployed in online debates, where one side insists on “logic” and “evidence” but refuses to examine their own [assumptions]. The stage rationalist moves goalposts, changes [definitions], and demands impossible proof—all while maintaining the appearance of dispassionate reason. It is rationality as a weapon, not a method.
