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…”.)

Does anyone know the history of how this label came to exist and be applied to us? At some point we showed up on the SSC map (https://slatestarcodex.com/blog_images/ramap.html …), and Darcey Riley hinted at some IRC discussions (https://yearlycider.wordpress.com/2014/09/19/postrationality-table-of-contents/#comment-150 …). But that’s where I lose the thread...

Mystery to me! I *think* I first heard it from Darcey, and probably after her post; and as you say, she hints at a prehistory, but I never knew who was involved in that.
