I agree. The waterline metaphor is not so commonly known outside LW that it would evoke anything except some watery connotations.
So, what about a nice-looking acronym like “Truth, Rationality, Universe, Eliezer”? :)
If there is concern that people outside of LW won’t know the metaphor, then the name “Rationality Waterline” can be used at first with the goal of gaining enough recognition to move on to simply “Waterline” at a later date.
Seriously? This place already has a rep for being a personality cult. Let’s not purposefully reinforce it. ;)
