[...] critrats [...] let themselves wholely believe probably wrong theories in the expectation that this will add up to a productive intellectual ecosystem
As someone who thinks you’d think they’re a ‘critrat’, this feels wrong to me. I can’t speak for other CR ppl, ofc, and some CR ppl aren’t good at it (like any epistemology), but for me I don’t think what you describe would add up to “a productive intellectual ecosystem”.
