Once you have so many smart contrarians that you run into sharp diminishing returns trying to recruit more
Why are there diminishing returns? Because too many smart contrarians cannot coexist? Because we ran out of smart contrarians to recruit? Because a group requires non-smart or non-contrarian people too in order to function better?
Also: over the last year many people joined LW, many of them referred here by HPMOR. I would expect these people to be less smart-contrarian.
