      To safely use rationality, you have to be postrational. Else rationality will use you as tool. What rationality wants is neatness, not truth

      I don’t like the term “postrational” because it sounds like it implies anti-rational.

      I'd have to know what "post-rational" means before venturing an opinion. But I'm not yet post-hyphen. @vgr

      I'm afraid I'm complete out of sync with modern trends in philosophy, esp. since discovering John Searle. @vgr

          What qualification is there for doing philosophy? University is a positive disadvantage.
