wait isn’t that heidegger not rationalists wtf
The rationalist heuristic to figure out root causes for problems is to ask “why?” 5 times. Do not use when feeling stupid. The postrationalist heuristic to figure out root motivations for behaviors is to ask “why bother?” 5 times. Do not use when feeling depressed.

In this case I might also substitute "pragmatist" for post-rationalist, in the "pragmatist theory of meaning" sense not the colloquial meaning, as in we care about how events bear upon consequent situations of agents, not some view-from-nowhere explanation by axiomatic entailment
-
I replace the term “view-from-nowhere” with “from the view of that all-seeing deity you assume” when talking to Materialists just to be provocative.

5 tastes terrible though. 3 or 6 why's is much more palatable.
-
I prefer 3/6 also, but 5 makes a good star. In reality, it's often more than 5xWhy. You know you've hit the bottom when you reach a core belief that is an assumption or principle. Getting a Why that goes a deeper level rather than just sideways is easier with a second person.

"When we ask 'how?,' we’re asking for a narrative. A story... As part of those stories, we’re looking to understand people’s local rationality. When it comes to decisions and actions, we want to know how it made sense for someone to do what they did." https://www.oreilly.com/ideas/the-infinite-hows …

The n00b Angel investor version of this is asking, how will this scale, 10x without feeling stupid.
