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”

The term suggests an evolution past rationality to various kinds of enlightened post-systematic metaness of the sort talks about. So it’s an accurate label for people who actually do that with discipline.
Sloppiness that sometimes gets lucky just looks like that.

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