This is why I refer to specific writers instead of postrationalism as a whole when I'm trying to make a point these days. Deliberate illegibility makes for great subcultures with great aesthetics, but it's not coherent as a philosophical position. But hey, what if that's good?

Who would you say qualifies as a post-rat author?

TBF I’m not sure anyone on this list would admit to being a post-rationalist? (Although maybe none of us would exactly disagree, either? Which is maybe consonant with post-rationalism’s attitude to truth: “well, it’s complicated, and also, on the other hand…”.)

Every identity has a grey area in which someone can credibly claim to be member or not a member. I know people who are not unarguably furries, but who do have sufficient related traits to credibly self-describe as such. I think postrationalism has an especially large grey area.

I came to this thread thinking that post-rats are people who grew out of the rationalist movement but don't identify with rats' core values. After going through these suggestions I'm no longer sure.

FWIW, I grew out of *a* rationalist movement (viz., 1980s artificial intelligence), and eventually figured out why it was unworkable, and eventually why all rationalisms must be unworkable. So @vgr could be right about that!
