I have some optimism that a sort of “organizational takeoff” might occur, though if it does I expect it will happen in an organization which can convert its constituents’ rationality into money in order to grow. Such an organization is likely to look quite unlike LW, and it may interact with the public in a very different way than you envision (for example, it may recruit widely but selectively, and may not publish anything at all).
