Proud Rationalussy Stans and Wicked Rationalussy Haters

**Proud Rationalussy Stans** and **Wicked Rationalussy Haters** refer to people who, respectively, support and oppose rationalussy. The terms were coined by Buttocks Cocktoasten in the description to one of his markets.

## Is rationalussy good or bad?

Buttocks Cocktoasten created a market called "Is rationalussy good or bad?" which resolved to YES or NO based on the average probability of the market. This is the origin of the terms for supporters and opponents of rationalussy, as Cocktoasten asked the proud rationalussy stans to bet YES, and wicked rationalussy haters to bet NO. Based on the shares held at close, the top three stans were Plasma Ballin', Buttocks Cocktoasten, and Marcus Abramovitch, and the top three haters were jack, Noya, and Young Galilean. It should, however, be noted that jack was playing the market and at times bought YES shares, and that some haters sold out before the market closed.

In the end, the rationalussy stans won, and the market resolved YES, with an average probability of 64.17%.

## Proud Rationalussy Stans

Proud rationalussy stans are people who embrace the spirit of rationalussy. Some stands are part of the Rationalussy Cult. Buttocks Cocktoasten is obviously the biggest rationalussy stan, while other users such as John Smith, duN, and Shelvacu appear to be stans as well.

### Prominent stans

Many prominent Manifolders have been speculated to be rationalussy stans in secret. As mentioned previously, Plasma Ballin' and Marcus Abramovitch both held large amounts of YES shares in "Is rationalussy good or bad?" at close, suggesting they may be stans. In addition, other mods such as Conflux, Code and Solder, Joshua, Tetra, Kevin Burke, and Martin Randall, have created rationalussy markets, suggesting they are potentially stans, especially Conflux, who famously revealed Manifold's wifi password to be "rationalussy". Manifold employee S G and user Shelvacu have made the two most notorious rationalussy markets, and Shelvacu has also contributed to rationalussy discourse in other ways, such as contributing a definition of it to Urban Dictionary. firstuserhere is also a suspected stan, having created markets about it and seemingly having a positive disposition towards the concept of rationalussy.

Mira, perhaps the most famous Manifold user, is a member of the Rationalussy Cult and has the highest profit in the Rationalussy topic on Manifold. This shows just how strong the influence of rationalussy ideology on Manifold is. Other users with large profits include liz/inerati (another infamous rationalussy stan), John Beshir, and Genzy, one of the few double-badged users (both an employee and a mod).

Brian T. Edwards seems to have taken a particularly personal liking to rationalussy themes, suggesting that he may name his first child after the founder of the Rationalussy Cult.

## Wicked Rationalussy Haters

Wicked rationalussy haters are those who reject the message of rationalussy and do not accept it into their hearts. The Rationalussy Cult advises members to show these people the love and joy that comes with rationalussy so that they may learn the errors of their ways.
