The whole subculture that is the new ‘rationality movement’ has some nodes, i.e., nodes, and subcultures, which are not included in this map of the Bay Area memespace. I’m sitting here at home with my friend Kytael, and we’re brainstorming the following:
What nodes are part of the rationalist movement that aren’t typical of the Bay Area memespace.
What nodes aren’t part of the rationalist movement that are still part of the Bay Area memespace.
What nodes we as a community might want to add the rationalist memespace.
What nodes might enter the rationalist memespace that some parts of the community might consider undesirable.

This list isn’t exhaustive, and it could be controversial, so please question, or criticize it below. I will reflexively update this list by editing this comment in response to replies. This was more of a brainstorming exercise than anything, but one I thought other Less Wrong users might consider interesting. If a great discussion results, myself, or someone else, could turn this into a fuller post in its own right.
