20 transformative texts, part 2

(Follow-up to 20 transformative texts).

Another friend of mine — I swear I have more than one! — is trying to learn about post-rationality, and I offered to compile the best resources again on the topic. This task is way more arduous because, in contrast to rationality, the post-rat movement is known for its illegibility and lack of a centralized platform (Twitter kinda counts but not for this purpose.)

Here is my attempt. Note: this list is susceptible to changes in the future.

4. Explaining the Twitter Postrat Scene - LessWrong

Going meta
