Hi everyone I’m brand new here and I didn’t bother reading literally anything in the side bars or even look at any of the posts or anything. What’s your whole deal? What’s a rationalist? Why are you sneering? Can you all just summarize everything that’s in the pinned posts for me real quick? I honestly am just curious. Who doesn’t want to be less wrong?
Sure let me make a massive effort post summarizing years of crypto-fascism, eugenics promotions, alt-right infiltration, AI-alarmism, cryptocurrency grifting, capitalist reputation laundering, and sheer hubris, carefully linked and cited, since obviously if you just wanted the quick rundown you would just read the side bar.
Oh, what’s that, you didn’t respond to single one of my points?

I asked an LLM to describe this sub. It would tell me that it can’t browse the internet, then use info that is clearly from the web. Anyway, eventually it gave me this:
Alt-right racists and sexists (aka rationalists) don’t like being teased for being absolute morons, and we don’t care. 🤷🏼♀️
Look at Dr. Steven Hassan’s BITE model and other stuff related to undue influence like the work of Robert Jay Lifton and the International Cultic Studies Association.
To be honest, I’d rather stick to old-fashioned critical thinking and individualism, but that’s just me.
