The main general thing I don't like about this is the continued and increasing conflation of rationalism with stuff like libertarianism, alt-right, or that weird paragraph about rationalists being a bunch of polyamorous hippies. The general thinking behind Bayesianism - being honest about where you're coming from, listening to counterpoints, and allowing your beliefs to change from evidence - is hardly partisan. Same with free speech. You'd think the W.H. Auden branch of free speech defenders were an endangered species, when they're really not - they're just not reading alt-right blogs and screaming about being canceled.
