Any idea what a good recent thing/person/blog example of embodying that historical rationalist mindset? The only context I have for the historical rationalist a is Descartes, and I have not personally seen anyone who felt super Descartes-esque.
The default book that I see mentioned in conversation that explains historical rationalism is “Seeing like a state” though I have not read the whole book myself.
Cool. My back of the mind plan is “Actually read the book, find big names in the top down planning regimes, see if they’ve written stuff” for whenever I want to replace my Descartes stereotype with substance.
I’d buy that.
