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.

The memes and ingroup jokes say a lot about postrat, this is true for every idea and ideology which is discussed on the internet. I just rarely see people who discuss postrat ideas in a serious way, but maybe this is big part of postrat itself, not taking things seriously.

My point is that the fact that postrationalists exist does not mean that there is a coherent set of things you could reasonably call "postrationalist ideas" any more than the rationalists can be understood separately from their very specific origins in Less Wrong.
