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.

Inventing the term “postrationalist” and plotting us on a map that centered rationalism was an excellent act of intellectual pwnage that Scott Alexander deserves props for. Afaik this was the thing that started ithttps://slatestarcodex.com/2014/09/05/mapmaker-mapmaker-make-me-a-map/ …

Oh, I think I remember hearing the term before that, but I may well be wrong. Surprised to note that SSC’s use predates Darcey’s; I did think it was the other way around. Her post says “I think
@willdoingthings or Steve Rayhawk invented the term.” Maybe Will knows the history?3 replies 0 retweets 2 likes -

yeah so Steve used it as a term for a group of mostly LW-adjacent people, e.g. the one true postrat muflax who I'm sure has transcended such things. but that's a boring history and Sarah canon afaik is you're supposed to make something up

speaking of make shit up, i'm honestly kinda happy at least one person took me up on pretending to be me and copying that silly style i write in; i gained like a whole new rank of divinity from that, which just about allowed me to pay off my miracle loans

Hmm… this makes it difficult to know which of the perhaps several muflaxes I’ve interacted with before! Perhaps as long as they all maintain the same persona, it doesn’t matter… Or maybe it does?

i think all muflaxes who are actually committed enough to the persona to go with the name full-time were me, but who knows indeed!
