The idea is that the worldbuilding and characterisation is examined by one or more characters starting from the canon starting point and, instead of behaving as they do in canon, examine their situation rationally. Sometimes this can be briefly interesting, but it almost always relies on the other characters never having thought of these "rational" solutions in the first place when that's not the rules that canon runs on. So I find them very frustrating, but I would be interested in one that doesn't come off like the writer showing that they are the only intelligent person in a world full of sheeple.

The other thing about this is that Rationalist fics, even ones not written by Eliezer Yudkowsky, tend to end up talking about the same sorts of things that inspire Eliezer Yudkowsky's Rationalist nonfiction. For reference, Yudkowsky thinks the U.S. should bomb other countries if they carry out A.I. research, because A.I. research will result in the extinction of humanity. I once read what I thought was going to be a cute Frozen shipfic, and it turned out the author was using Olaf as a metaphor for evil A.I. I wish I was fucking kidding!
