Yesterday I finished a draft of Part II of my book on meta-rationality, yay! I was able to take part of November and most of December out to write; the first extended period since August 2018, when I finished the draft of Part I.

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.

Where does the whole Hegelian trinity of Eternalism, Nihilism and Meaningness enter in that structure?

Not Hegelian I hope! Rationalism is an eternalism (and that’s part of why it doesn’t work). There’s a brief discussion of post-rational nihilism in the book, but it’s not a main theme there.

Are the book and the site (http://meaningness.com ) going to diverge then? I'm looking for a good critique of nihilism, the David Benatar kind, to start 2020

_In the Cells of the Eggplant_ is a narrow book just about rationality. I do very much want to finish the part of _Meaningness_ about nihilism. I hope to do that after the Eggplant is done.
