I’m responding to the LW community’s desires for this quote on a T-shirt as expressed here. Clearly, a number of people do find it expresses what they believe rationality is about. So might have to do with different ways of perceiving rationality.

I don’t think the LW community expressed any desires about T-shirts. And, of course, anyone who wants to can go onto CafePress (or Zazzle, etc.), upload their design, and get the t-shirt without any intermediaries involved. It’s not rocket surgery.
You made a top-level post about the fact that you’ve designed a t-shirt and want people to buy it. Do you think that’s a sufficiently high quality post for LW?
Wow, when you said top-level post, I freaked and thought you meant main post for a sec. I had to go back and check into that again. Don’t scare me like that :-)
For the other point, fair enough about the community comment, I update and take that back. Let me be more clear that a number of members of the community expressed a desire, which is why InIn took on the project of coordinating making t-shirts in the first place.
So your timeline is a bit off—people first expressed a desire, then InIn took on the project, then it was discussed quite a bit with Less Wrongers giving feedback on various phrases and design, then InIn made a first batch, then we got some more feedback, and now this is the first example of a second and more stylized batch. Thus, I do think it belongs on LW Discussion, not main, of course.
