Rationality tries to insist it can get above the map and outside the territory to use the map.
Post rationality is starting to integrate map and territory into one action. Unfortunately for the human condition, there is no boundary between map and territory.
“Above the map”? “Outside the territory”? This is utter nonsense. Rationality insists no such thing. Explicitly the opposite, in fact.
Given things like this too:
Existing map-less is very hard. The human brain really likes to put maps around things.
At this point I have to wonder if you’re just rounding off rationality to the nearest thing to which you can apply new-age platitudes. Frankly, this is insulting.
If you find yourself getting overly emotional over a reply on a rationality forum post, a prudent thing to do is to step away and chill for a bit before replying.
You are welcome to think this is utter nonsense and feel like this is insulting. That’s fine. I understand that. It makes no sense to you and it seems like I’m gibbering about nothing.
I understand where you are and why you would say that. I’m sure it’s very frustrating to see these new age platitudes and have no idea where I’m getting this from.
For me this is significant information, for the several people who have read it and privately messages me and been impressed and surprised by the experience. For myself and these people, there’s something here that we see. It seems strange that I can talk in a secret language right under your nose and make sense to other people. How long until you wonder what that is and how you can see it for yourself?
“Maps are in the territory, too”. Where else could they be?

I am not sure what you are referring to, and I’d be interested if you can link/PM me more details about what those people read.
I have no idea what that means.
Sometimes “where” is a wrong question to ask. Sort of like “where does the Universe expand to?”
Now show that it’s the wrong question in this case. We don’t need another repetition of “maps all the way down”, we need a proper explanation.
I would have answered that question with, “we don’t know yet”. But I don’t know my physics to say if that’s correct.
