Very interesting post. I think exploring the limits of our standard models of rationality is very worthwhile. IMO the models used in AI tend to be far too abstract, and don’t engage enough with situatedness, unclear ontologies, and the fundamental weirdness of the open world.
One strand of critique of rationality that I really appreciate is David Chapman’s “meta-rationality,” which he defines as “evaluating, choosing, combining, modifying, discovering, and creating [rational] systems”
