Do I understand it correctly that you believe the words “virtue signaling”, or at least their frequent use, originates on LW? What is your evidence for this? (Do you have a link to what appears to be the first use?)
In my opinion, Robin Hanson is more likely suspect, because he talks about signaling all the time. But I would not be surprised to hear that someone else used that idiom first, maybe decades ago.
In other words, is there anything more than “I heard about ‘virtue signaling’ first on LW”?

I remember seeing other claims/analysis of this but don’t remember where
When EY says our community he means more then just LW but the whole rationalist diaspora as well towards which Robin Hanson can be counted.
