This from @Meaningness reminded me of something I’ve been mulling over about post-rationality. Relatively early on, I engaged with a thinker whom i now realize is connected to the meta/post-rational & integral projects.https://twitter.com/Meaningness/status/1153337963226357760?s=20 …

This is a quick placeholder post; I’m sprinkling a couple of breadcrumbs in case anyone wants to follow. The thinker I mentioned is John Ralston Saul. http://www.johnralstonsaul.com/non-fiction-books/on-equilibrium/ …

He wrote a trilogy which is an extended critique and exploration of capital-Reason. And then a fourth follow-up, On Equilibrium, which posits a suite of six intellectual powers that we’d do well to co-cultivate imagination memory reason intuition ethics common sense

Nothing earth-shattering or groundbreaking there. But it’s a useful exploration. The preceding trilogy is an interesting historical note, too, from a time before Sept 2001, and before software started to eat the world.
