I wanted to share the parent URL but HN didn't allow me.
In "Why No-One’s Noticed This Before"[1] the author makes a distinction of `self-consistents` and `confabulators`. I've found this very similar to Robert Pirsig's `classical thinkers` vs `romantics`[2]. It is unfortunate that ZAMM devolves into rationalizing irrational behaviour and ends with a shrug after having raised the reader's expectations. I haven't read all of the material here yet, but so far it all makes sense.
