Not precisely related but not precisely unrelated either: I coined the term “rationalsphere” to refer specifically to people who don’t necessarily identify as a rationalist, or in the rationality community, but are nonetheless connected to the blogosphere somehow. (i.e. people like Tyler Cohen).
I don’t think there’s a biggest of deals, and I’m not sure how others have been using the word, but since the point of the umbrella term is specifically to encompass people who wouldn’t identify as a rationalist, using “rationalistphere” seems odd. (rationalsphere, rationalitysphere and rational-o-sphere all seem fine)
(I also wouldn’t use it as something analogous to the rationality movement, since it’s specifically a superset of the rationality movement)

How’s my write up?
What are your thoughts on the most agreeable umbrella term?
