Post-rationalism

Post-rationalism is a term that has been used to ideas perceived as being somehow beyond rationalism or, per perception, after its main era. "Post-rationalists tend to value true beliefs, but have more sympathy for religion, ritual, and tradition (including monogamy) than the rationalist community. They are skeptical of the ability of science (as it is practiced) to solve humanity's problems and provide a sense of meaning or happiness.Nov 5, 2015"Google.com, responding to query { post-rationalism } on Aug 9, 2020.
What is ?It's kind of an umbrella term for the various things people drift off to once they get sick of LW-style rationalism but don't want to become religious or alt-right or tankie, so there are a couple things all called "post-rationalism" that don't have very much in common.It's probably more illuminating to provide examples than a strict definition, which could never be all-encompassing: a couple things commonly brought up as "post-rationalist" include Weird Sun Twitter and David Chapman's Meaningness. --- "Analemma_ 18 points 2 years ago"

--- @__justplayingI was in China in October of 2008. I wanted to follow the election, but most sites were blocked. A little blog called 538 wasn't. IIRC, a comment on one post linked to Overcoming Bias. That's how I learned about @robinhanson & @ESYudkowsky . --- Geoff Greer @ggreer 9:22 PM · Sep 2, 2020·Twitter Web App Replying to @sonyasupposedly and @__justplayingv
For me it was Jedi Council Forums (2009) -> TV Tropes -> the HP fanfic recs page -> HPMOR (2010) -> Sequences then years and years of lurking the relevant people (rat and postrat) I read Meaningness in 2017

First thing that comes to mind hearing "post-rationalism" is [Ribbon Farm](www.ribbonfarm.com). It's primarily written by Venkatesh Rao. Think Scott Alexander x Tim Ferris. Scott in terms of verbosity and broadness of curiousities yet Ferris in terms of his public aspirations, though Rao's is an intellectual. He's been featured in The Atlantic, for instance.
