"To put it super crudely it's a sort of disagreement with the idea that informal rationality is just an approximation to the math instead of the other way around." - Srijit Sanyal gives the best one-line description of @Meaningness's views I've heard. Or at least I thought so?

Srijit’s summary is a not-altogether-accurate description of the relationship between informal rationality (“reasonableness”) and formal rationality. Text here from the definitions section of my Eggplant book, which I hope can clarify! https://meaningness.com/eggplant/terms pic.twitter.com/WqXWfc3M6R

I did also suggest he read some Quine and Wittgenstein, if that helps. (As my waggish friend recently observed on his meme-page, if you can do Twitter, you can do the Philosophical Investigations.)

I wish there were something more recent and more straightforward to recommend. There really isn’t… which is why I have to write the Eggplant book.
