Seeing some weird/baffling takes on 'post-rationalism' today. Look: if it means anything, "Post-Rationalism" means 'When rationalists wander away from rationalism, and don't get sucked into a) politics or b) religion, they get interested in some of these issues.'

It's not a system and there's no hierarchy (other than

Post-rationalism is mostly historical and contingent. It's an epiphenomenon of the Less Wrong diaspora: when people drift away from LW, some go left, some go right, some go religious, and some keep wandering -- the ones who didn't grab for semantic stopsigns, if you like.
