I’ve sometimes pondered the bizarrely high level of rationality on TV Tropes, and my guess is that it has something to do with people zooming in, thinking about details, trying to find the obvious consequences and moral implications that no one else sees, thinking in “near mode” about things that would usually be considered in “far mode”, and possibly just being made up of nerds.
