postrat as the suburbs of rats is the first mental model I’ve seen that hangs together as a conceptual metaphor 🤔

I think basically rationality has an outside impact on the intellectual world, so it's an attractor point for a certain kind of smart person, but that's true even if you don't like the claims or vibes, so you end up in the suburbs.

This is a great extension of the analogy to also explain the social perception of each other. From inside the city: "we fucking pay taxes for this, and you just leech and complain!" From outside: "ew, why would you want to be there *all the time*"?
