Well what do you think a positive 1000 13 year old LW would look like?
Competing with 4chan for the attention of 13 year olds is the scope of the problem we face. I’m saying that 1000 young bayesians is a goal, and that if that community comes to exist, it just won’t look at all like LW, or have it’s mores.
The LW atmosphere probably won’t grab that audience. (And many of the new posts would be perceived as low quality here, even if they were above average for 13 year olds.)
Also, the only memes you will see ‘coming out of 4chan’ are the most viral ones. If it also contained a rationalist subculture, it might not be obvious, unless you were one of the 13 year olds whose thinking was changed.
