I don't know if I actually believe this, but it popped into my head and entertained me enough that I thought I'd put it in yours too.

postrats are basically just rationalists who decided that the rational thing to do was to get therapy but then because they were rationalists decided they were much smarter than all the therapists and they should do it themselves instead.

BTW this description also matches me except I didn't start out as a rationalist so this tweet is basically a self own too.

The British postrars are clearly similar, but have simply been in therapy queues for so long they took matters into their own hands.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

I don't necessarily disagree but suspect that therapy is one of those things where the group benefits more a significant fraction of its members attending therapy than the individuals do. But if so I'm being a hypocrite because this is also the reason I don't do therapy.

Why is everybody discussing what postrats are and not what postrationality *is*? I tought postrats are people who think that rationality is a nice tool for a lot of things, but accept that it's not perfect and think that we need other tools, for example for *meaning*, as well.

Now it's all about memes and ingroup jokes. I mean I'm fine with this, but I liked the discussion about kegan and the utility of rituals.

this speaks to me sadly it's easier to trust psychedelics than other ppl drugs are often more reliable + rewarding disclaimers: • I've never had a bad trip • my best therapist died on me and the most recent one abruptly terminated treatment bc 'you have too much going on'

I like MAPS-style drugs. But drugs are not an epistemology.
