If I was going to be rude, I'd say it was a rationalist who'd been hit in the head with a post. But I'm not going to endorse that statement.
Note that some people who are called "post-rationalist" are highly respected by almost all members of the LessWrong community.
Cool, who?
Full disclosure: I actually have no idea what a post-rationalist is. I was just making fun of your sample quotes and I can't resist an opportunity to make a bad pun.
E.g., Nick Tarleton, Peter de Blanc.
I appreciated the pun.
I hereby declare that "gugglefweeps" mean people like Richard Feynman, Albert Einstein, me, Carl Friedrich Gauss, and Johann Sebastian Bach. It's great being a gugglefweep.
Less obliquely: Where does this term "post-rationalist" come from, who applies it to all these people, and is there meant to be any sort of suggestion that there's much in common between the thinking of the people allegedly described by it? (From what you've said so far, there's little reason to think there is.)
