Perhaps a point of terminology, I’d say vibestemics is itself about the fact that your epistemics, whatever they are, are grounded in vibes (via care). However, this is tangled up with the fact that to believe that this core vibestemic claim is true is to automatically imply that there is no one right epistemic process, but rather epistemic processes that are instrumentally useful depending on what you care about doing (hence the contingency on care).
The specific vibe of the post-rationality is, as I would frame it, to value completeness over consistency, whereas traditional rationality makes the opposite choice (and pre-rationality doesn’t even try to value either, except in that it will try to hallucinate its way to both if pressed).
