I don’t know about the rest of the people who downvoted you on this post, but I will explain my downvote:
Your charge of “groupthink” does not hold water because Less Wrong is a community for people who take on logic and “rationality” as a foundation for viewing and thinking about the world. Hence, when you say:
“i am reading nothing substantial”
what you really mean to say is:
“I don’t know what you guys are talking about because I haven’t read most of the core content on the site.”
So what can we say, really, that you won’t reject out of hand as being “groupthink”? But based on this criteria, if you were trying to be consistent you would have to shout “groupthink!” at every single organization or community whose members had similar beliefs and behaviors that were somewhat cryptic for outsiders (including all religious congregations and organizations, obviously).
As for your demand for:
sources 2. methodology 3. that concludes Jesus Christ did not rise from the dead and is not of God.
It’s an absurd request and you are incorrect in making it. I’m not going to explain why, because there is too much inferential distance between us. If you actually want to understand why and what I’m talking about, you’re going to have to do a lot of reading, starting with The Simple Truth and the sequences.
Barring that though, most people here will not be interested in engaging your comments.
