As a long-time RW regular, I thought it was pretty accurate. Everyone thinks they’re rational, particularly the infuriatingly hard-of-thinking. RW is Internet television and an enjoyable waste of your time at best. With useful bits. (This is approximately how I treat LW as well, of course.)
I agree. For those familiar with RationalWiki, I actually thought that it provided a nice contrasting example, honestly. Eliezer’s definition for rationality is (regrettably, in my opinion) rare in a general sense (insofar as I encounter people using the term), and I think the example is worthwhile for illustrative purposes.
