[Off topic] Link regarding rationalist foundationalism

Post Body

Sorry for the non-debate post, but I've been trying to find an article link that someone gave me in a comment on this subreddit about a year ago. I've searched every way I can think of, so maybe someone remembers it. I also remember that it was given to me a regular commenter here - maybe even someone still around.

The link was to an article that argued for the idea that rational intuition (or maybe not intuition but common sense, or something like that) must underly all belief - that reductionist justification is impossible because it must itself be supported by a rational framework. The author had given his belief system a name (probably ending in -ism), but I can't remember it at all.

The article appeared on a single-author blog with a writer who I think the blog promoted as a contrarian and polymath. I found most of his other writing unenlightening and I vaguely remember that most of it was pretty right-wing.

Does this ring a bell for anyone?
