The current book structure: I. Rationalism (why it doesn’t work) II. Mere reasonableness III. Rationality (how we make it work) IV. Meta-rationality V. Practical applications Plus introduction, conclusion, and some Interludes.

This makes the book long, which is an obstacle for me, and might be for readers too. Why not cut to the chase and just explain meta-rationality? Super tempting! But…

You can’t understand meta-rationality without an accurate understanding of how rationality actually works. And you can’t get that until you understand why rationalism is wrong, and also how everyday reasonableness works.

I was just fixing a typo. You should be able to see the revised version now. It’s rationalism that’s wrong, not rationality. (But that wasn’t the typo!)
