This event profoundly shaped our world, but it has never been explained clearly, afaik. My eggplant book tries; but only relatively briefly (~50 pages) because it’s just background to my actual topics. Wish I could recommend a good source instead.https://twitter.com/everytstudies/status/1108008134839320579 …

Most ideologies spawn “deconversion narratives,” from believers who realized the ism was false and left. Why are there so few rationalist deconversion narratives? Maybe postrational nihilism is so dreary that almost no one has the energy for it. Mine: https://meaningness.com/metablog/ken-wilber-boomeritis-artificial-intelligence …pic.twitter.com/X0X41jHoCG

Three years ago, I complained that writing up exactly what’s wrong with rationalism would be a drag, though a necessary public service. That part of The Eggplant is complete. Until I explain the better alternative, it’s worse than useless though. https://meaningness.com/metablog/ken-wilber-boomeritis-artificial-intelligence …pic.twitter.com/fsLt5DumBA

Table of contents from the part of the Eggplant book explaining why rationalism can’t work. As you can see, I was only able to complete it by including a lot of whimsical examples to amuse myself.pic.twitter.com/4Wq20swOJK

Replying to @Meaningness
Eagerly waiting for the book to be published. Any way to read an early draft?

Not yet... there's another couple hundred pages to write, unfortunately.
