Lured in by ciphergoth, who successfully irritated me into looking. Finally irritated into creating a login to comment on a post that wasn’t listing its sources.
I also write a lot on RationalWiki, with subjects of local interest being the cryonics and LessWrong articles. Please remember that we love you really, we’re just annoying about it.
Having given it some thought, I don’t label myself “rationalist”. “Whatever-works-ist” is probably more accurate. LessWrong’s ambit claim upon the word “rationalist” is very irritating.
LessWrong irritating me seems good for me. Or productive, anyway. This may not be the same thing.

We call “whatever-works-ism” instrumental rationality.
