That was my starting point too, but I noticed that most new content linked there specifically about PR seems to have been written pre-2015. If those authors still write, I get the impression that they are not writing about PR anymore.
That makes me suspect that postrationalism was never a 'thing'.

That makes me suspect that postrationalism was never a 'thing'.

Scott used the term when he draw his map and a few people thought that it describes a cluster but most of the involved people don't care for the term.

It's similar to a term like Darwinism that wasn't primarily about self-labeling.
