Biotruths

This probably says good things about where I spend my time on the internet, but damn, I haven't heard that word in years.

Wait, what is “post-rationalist”? Is it different from “rationalists?”

From my understanding post-rationalists are a group of people who (for the most part) have a history with rationalism, and yes they are different. Some post-rationalists are former rationalists who, for one reason or another, distanced themselves from the community but still share many of its ideas/personality types. Other members of the community were never rationalists per se, but integrated well into the group. Post-rationalist are pretty much rationalists who also add spiritual beliefs into the mix (astrology/magic/mysticism, etc). That it why it is called a rat-adjacent community. Post-rationalists tend to be found twitting all day on Twitter.

Just to seal the deal, so to speak.
In Slavoj Zizeks voice: "But *sniff* what if the opposite is true?"
rationalists who realise the Sequences are an embarrassment, but still want to nerd out with likeminded racists
My understanding is that it's people who consider themselves intellectually influenced by the rationalists, but don't identify as rationalists directly. An example would be neo-reactionaries like Moldbug or Land.
Moldbug was firmly ensconced in the local Bay Area rationalist subculture from very early on - remember that this is not just an online subculture, the real-world element is very important lotta the post-rationalists are part of the real-world subculture, i.e. nerding out with like-minded racists
What! These are just comfortable places to share views among likeminded ~~caliper owners~~ friends.
Hey I have calipers for woodworking ! Lol
Who is Land?

I don’t get it. What does she mean “not pg”?

“I’m obsessed with sex but afraid to talk about it”
not PG-rated, or instead R-rated.

Boy I hope they're using appropriate technique. Like, this started out as a fun sneer at rats and post-rats trying desperately to paper over their kinks with scientific validation, but *I'm* a short person who does dances that include weight-sharing and now I'm deeply worried about the state of everyone's joints.
they are doubtless stuffed with the devil's lettuce and who knows what else

I have never been a rationalist

Guilty by association.

What does the QT have anything to do with Rats or Post-rats? Doesn’t seem relevant at all.

Weird eugenic statement that attracted post-rats like moths to a flame in the comments section.
hmm...not sure suggesting shortness as a dating trait to look for is a step away from eugenics? Considering most people slam short people? Seems odd.
it's true, we've never really recovered from randy newman's vicious attacks

Scale of this issue is the same as when a girl swipes left on a short guy on Tinder. He basically does the exact same thing, but as a rationalist wants to rationalize it first.

Can’t blame him more than a Tinder girl.

Probably can blame him a bit less as he never mentioned that height is a must have parameter, while Tinder girls do exactly that

are you lost
If this is a category of thing that has a subreddit I feel like I could waste a quiet evening binging it
r/lostredditors it's not very good
