Eliezer documented the arrival of poseurs (people who superficially copycat cultural behaviors—they are reported to over-run subcultures) which he termed “Undiscriminating Skeptics”.
If I understand Eliezer right, when he says “Undiscriminating Skeptics” he means the people who always favor academic status quo ideas and thus reject ideas like cryonics and the many world hypothesis.
When I read LessWrong, I seldom see comments that critize others for being undiscriminating skeptics. If LessWrong participants want to keep out undiscriminating skeptics than they should speak up against the practice a lot more than they currently do.
