Whereas he already “knows” that the truth is NRx, and what he calls “rationality” is simply whatever path you take to go from your current beliefs to NRx.
I assume that NRX does contain some genuine insight about the real world, even though some or perhaps even most of it may be quite wrong. Anyway, there are a lot of folks out there who have made up their mind already and are not going to be convinced otherwise, much like Eugine or The_Lion or whoever. LW is plenty resilient enough to deal with such people—and indeed, this is a key requirement if it is to be successful.
Alternate hypothesis: NRx stole some genuine insights from other branches of political thought (eg public choice theory, moral drift) & passed them off as original to NRx.

For me, that is far too low a bar for getting my interest.
