There was an R. K. Laxman cartoon once where an emanciated beggar on the sidewalk is saying to reporters, “There must be some mistake; I’m not on a hunger strike, I’m starving” Sometimes I feel like saying, “There must be some mistake; I’m not postrational, I’m just mediocre”

Mediocrity as a method aims to get unreasonably lucky (Ie serendipitous) by using heuristics like looking for the joke, or just turning the boldness knob. When it works, the results are comparable to more systematic and effortful post-rationality. Cost: no control over target

Can you please define post-rationality? Including & also transcending rationality “à la” Ken Wilber? Intuition systematically reached by means of Meditation, Contemplation, etc...?

"Sloppiness that sometimes gets lucky" feels almost like a masthead
