Perhaps instead of post-rationalism just reinventing LW-style rationalism, LW-rationalism is just post-rationalism that likes the word “rationality” but still differs significantly from previous forms of rationality.https://twitter.com/chaosprime/status/1155913248581009411 …

Or in a simpler way: what rationalism is post-rationalism post to? Perhaps LW is not the center of the universe and the standard by which all things are judged.

postrats are 100% post-LW, especially post-Eliezer, to some extent Scott. it all started ca. 2012. Venkat and Chapman were kinda brought into the fold around Sarah ca... idk, 2015. it started as a joke, then a social group mostly in SF and East Coast

What does “100% post” mean? That you have rejected every aspect of it? This is exactly the perspective that I’ve been confused about. So much of post-rationalism is just reinventing LW- and SSC-style rationalism.

no, 100% post LW/SSC rationalism and 0% post any other kind of rationalism except insofar as they show up in LW/SSC rationalism. I don't really read postrats the past 4 years but fwiw I never got a sense they were reinventing anything. some did focus on pointless vague juju, imo

fwiw I'm not nor have ever been a postrat, even though I've hung out with them a lot over the years and think the bay area group is pretty cool. Imo the only real postrat is/was muflax

funny, I was a full-on rat (I worked for SIAI, maybe more singularitarian than rat) but I didn't become a postrat, gave up all tribe membership entirely instead, decided it wasn't for me
