Certain risks around groupthink, not knowing about how to select for behaviors or memes that are “safe” to tolerate in whatever memetic/status gradient you find yourself in, even just defining terms like blindspot or bias ---- they all seem made a lot worse by young EAs/rats who didn’t previously learn to navigate a niche ideology/subculture.
Why does it have to be niche? Haven’t met many nonrationalists who’s mind doesn’t go haywire once you start on Politics or Religion. Where did these EAs/Rats grow up if they weren’t exposed to that?
