        Sufficiently good case studies of meta-rationality ought to convince sincere rationalists by their own tenets. “Post-rationalism,” btw, is a term almost no one uses for a self-identification. It’s mostly a joke, and definitely not a coherent movement, clique, or set of beliefs.pic.twitter.com/xetFQMBsN3

        I wonder if this is the same thing arch-rationalist EY is pointing at when he says things like <you must see all your tools broken in your hands before you can truly become a master of the art of rationality>.

        Not uncommonly he goes beyond what I call rationalism and into what I call meta-rationalism. We don’t mean the same things by “rationalism”. This is unfortunate. (We also seem to have substantive disagreements, of course.)

        Maybe if the "why rationality doesn't work" book were accompanied by a prominent explanation similar to what you have here, it wouldn't seem hostile or destructive?
