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
@sarahdoingthing being the True Caliph). It's definitely not a weird Bay area cult into drugs and weird sex (you're thinking of...the Bay area, that should have been obvious,)1 reply 1 retweet 24 likesShow this thread -
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.

David, Sarah, me and various other people were just sitting around doing our various things and a bunch of LW people wandered up, is what it felt like to me. Various takes in this thread today, other stuff I don't have handy. https://ponteh2dhh1ksdiwesph2tres.tumblr.com/post/177052494295/why-i-think-rationalist-self-help-is-broken …

There was a Twitter scene called UST for a while of mostly non-LW people circa 2011-2015 maybe?
