Are there any specific articles you could point out as good examples of this? I don’t remember reading anything about “postrationality” for a year or so—I actually kinda forgot they exist—so I am curious what I missed.
I had a weird feeling from the beginning, when it seemed that Chapman—a leader of a local religious group, if I understand it correctly—became the key figure of “doing rationality better”. On the other hand, it’s not like Less Wrong avoided the religious woo completely. Seems like somehow it only became a minor topic here, and maybe more central one among the postrationalists? (Perhaps because other competing topics, such as AI, were missing?)
Also, I suppose that defining yourself in opposition to something is not helpful to actually finding the “middle way”. Which is why it was easier for rationalists to accept the good arguments made by postrationalists, than the other way round.
