      I was actually considering writing a post about where postrat came from, and then inhibited again by how much I really don't want to. But if I don't, nobody else is going to huh?

      Most of the reluctance is because it would produce prodigious amounts of beef if written in a way that reflected how I really feel about the subject.

      And that is precisely why I will ultimately end up having to write it, yes.

      One spoiler is that I think SSC had a huge influence which isn't acknowledged nearly enough. If you binge the best SSC essays back to back (as I did to correct their typos and format them) you realize a lot of SSC is this slow deconstruction of 'rationality' in the EY sense.

      Another spoiler is I think there's a motte and bailey going on where you have 'postrat is about the stuff Chapman talks about' discourse that is fake and then this weirder discourse where postrat is a bohemian hideout for ex-LWers of various flavors, which feels more accurate.

      John David Pressman Retweeted QC

      This can be split into several camps. There's the QC thing which, I frankly feel like a lot of (but not QC himself) is people coming into LW with Dawkins new atheist memes, pattern matching EY to them, getting talked out of Dawkins and then blaming EY.https://twitter.com/QiaochuYuan/status/1353841026633371648 …

      John David Pressman added,

      QC @QiaochuYuan
      the esoteric meaning of "postrationalist" is a person who is recovering from the totalizing memes in the rationalist ecosystem. it is a trip. especially because you can't just refute them by saying AGI is impossible

      Then there's this Crowley mysticism thing where you LARP believing in magick but not like, Believing In Magick and you need to strike this tightrope balance between being hip without coming off like an actual maniac. Kinda like Jack Parsons but less coolhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcOHiGonWwU …
