It's the first chapter of an attempt to explicate the skills and virtues of postrationality

I admit, I never got a clear idea of what postrationality is about except that it is somewhat less rigorous and more into mysticism (?), but are you suggesting that your movement is about writing lame parodies with a few clever jokes in them in order to criticize what you dislike (or maybe what you like - it isn't very clear)?

I swear, this movement becomes weirder and weirder with every mention.
