like with the rationalists, there is some sincerity to the causes (“i really do want to bayes better!”), but a lot of ends up being about the vibe a way of being able of standing in relation to the world that helps you make sense, and gives u some of accomplishing what u want to
the same knee-jerk “i thought i was good at my emotions, but turns out im totally not, and in fact, much worse than normal people!” needs to happen again https://t.co/ebH6JRQaNA
instead, postrat was something more of a vibe if the rat vibe was something like “domineering, dominating with intelligence, and plans” postrats was like “allowing! stepping into ignorance! enjoying the touch grass and field! 🥰”
the real postrat tools are something more like what are so much on the periphery they are barely associated with the postrats friendship, dumbness, true dumbness; saying less, a more grandmother kind of wisdom https://t.co/kbPdEKOsPC
