You’re not very rational for a bunch of extreme rationalists, are you? It’s only possible to answer this survey if you register for the site, so excluding nearly all possible commenters (there is science on this) and presumably an even greater proportion of those who are uninterested in the ideas in LW. So that’s a Big Old Fail.
You really think we’ve never talked about selection bias here? It is constantly a concern every time we do a survey. This is why ata’s questions were directed at those who had registered and not at the entire group that read the fanfiction. If you know of some way we could poll everyone who read the fanfiction without response bias by all means tell us.
Something about us rubbed you the wrong way. Which is fine, things about us rub me the wrong way. But I’d much rather you articulate what that was than go searching for random things to criticize us about just because you want us to be irrational.
I started to read through the Sequences, but they rapidly set off my nutcase detectors.
