i woke up today and someone at work called me irrational, so today you have to read all the facts about rationalism, materialism and post-rationalism that i know. right, i chose violence because i’m not only irrational, i’m post-rational.

post-rationalism is BEYOND the narrow view of logical knowledge and the narrative that everything has a physical basis

descartes was cool back in the day but his view was VERY LIMITED on rationalism, and he valued reason and mind over the physical body and feeling

that was not cool because a) fueled colonization and slave trade, b) what about social context???? experience??? c) how do you even split mind and body? that’s not a real thing, sir descartes

there is NO split between body and feelings because they are both sources of human knowledge

rationalism is NOT the magical pill to answer all our questions - we cannot ethically approach important issues that require a moral component

our current scientific view is materialistic, which means science believes that everything has a physical basis (even our emotions).

not cool because a) we are just “things” in this worldview, b) our value gets decreased to whether we can be exploited or not (can’t get pregnant? not a good woman)

if we are materialistic, we are individualistic, and all we do is get exploited and spend money in the big machine called CAPITALISM (yes, if you buy a genshin character you also participate in it, but it’s okay, we will get through it)

now we are isolated, what do we do? we go BEYOND INFINITY (aka understand that we need more than just reason to live and thrive)

we need social connections, sense of belonging, empathy, love, even mystery and magic!

mindfulness practices decrease our levels of stress hormones, and stress response triggers our nervous system and runs way too many hormones through our body. so we need mindfulness and relaxation response.

we need to break the cycle focused on rationalism, materialism, capitalism and individualism. we need to look BEYOND it and be aware of the levels of our life - what we consume, what we pass onto other people.

WE NEED POST-RATIONALISM!
