I think Jed takes it one step further than the rationalists. In some sense the rationality community is clinging on to the semantic stopsign of bayes rule and empiricism, while Jed lights even those on fire and declares truth as non-existent.
Well, yeah. Rationalists strive to separate true from false. Jed strives to declare everything as false.
Then again, he seems happy, and it is not obvious that a parallel reality without “enlightenment” would be better.

Rationalist version: all maps are false, but some are useful.
