The term “post-rationalist” seems to suggest an abandonment of rational thought. Eliezer doesn’t own the word “rational,” you can still use it even if you disagree with him on how to approach rationality.
I also agree that traditional knowledge, even when wrong is often based on some real observation and is worth serious consideration and investigation. Baseless superstitions and paradigm shifting phenomena both look the same until carefully investigated.
