As suggested at this thread to general “yeah sounds cool”. Let’s see if this goes anywhere.

Original inspiration:

The post Xitter web has spawned soo many “esoteric” right wing freaks, but there’s no appropriate sneer-space for them. I’m talking redscare-ish, reality challenged “culture critics” who write about everything but understand nothing. I’m talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. They’re inescapable at this point, yet I don’t see them mocked (as much as they should be)

If your sneer seems higher quality than you thought, feel free to make it a post, there’s no quota here

      imagine someone pulls this out and you have no idea what it is. you’re kind of nervous and weirded out by the energy at this orgy but at least this will distract you. you look at your first card and it has a yudkowsky quote on it

      Raise the Sanity Waterline

      We all wish our friends would be more rational, especially when they disagree with us. But actually helping them can be difficult, especially when already in an argument. Rationality Cardinality will help you teach your friends how to think more clearly, by introducing them to concepts in a fun and memorable way.

      Well, it will make your friends more Rationalist but not in the way they hope.

        every card is a valuable lesson in how insufferable the Rationalists are

      Jesus wept, that one deserves a thread of its own. I can’t remember the last time I winced this hard.

          Only cards that have incorrect punctuation should be considered funny, this is a clear violation of Rat Law. Big Yud will hear of this.

      Incredible, they just use the limerick that appears in the “Exaggeration and distortion of mental changes” section of Phineas Gage’s wikipedia article, uncritically.

      Now I really wonder how much EA donation money went into making this.
