One thought I’ve had is that perhaps the Rationalist community in particular is uncomfortable allowing outside theories in without first insourcing them, but they don’t have a structure for processing and vetting content other than through their leadership, and their leadership is busy and hasn’t opted-in to serving that function.
That’s not really true. Writing LessWrong posts is a way that anyone can put up a theory to the rationalist community. People then read the post and vote based on what they believe about the post. The problem is that Leverage’s idea of secrecy included not sharing information through such a channel.
