If you don't see the NRs in the rationalist community, you're not looking. Ultimately I agree that they're not equal; I think many people involved in LW or SSC are good-faith rationalists. But there's also a strong segment that has adopted - post hoc - a crazy set of priors to support NR views. What strikes me is how antithetical this post-hoc "pick your priors, any priors!" is to the rationalist ideal, but it doesn't get called out. It's given equal treatment, and it means that the community is categorically incapable of discussing culture-war issues.
