What is postrationalism

​Postrationalism has probably as many definitions as there are postrationalists. Most of us are on twitter, and our community there is often called TPoT: “This part of twitter”.

So what is postrationalism? For some people the prefix “post” means recovering from rationality and it’s totalizing memes (especially about AGI). For others it’s about letting go of “the truth” as the primary lens of seeing the world.

​Maybe vibes & woo achieve highest data compression. Maybe we're all just permanently trapped in this technocapitalst dopamine hell realm and illegibility and hornyposting make the most of our imprisonment.

There is also a long serious twitter-thread on the topic of rationality vs postrationalism. If you are a LessWrong-rationalist, you might enjoy this post on LessWrong ”Explaining the Twitter Postrat Scene”.

​And if you need a long list of essays and blog posts, we can supply you with one too.
