It is a true fact, but it is not relevant to discussion, which I think I already made pretty clear. I don't actually care if you'd call it rationalist or not. Neither I nor the NYT are rationalist (either by hawkice's narrow definition, or as members of the community in question), so I don't know why you would hold either of us to that standard. And I have zero clue why you think that I think he was cancelled. He certainly was not cancelled. I didn't say he was because I don't believe he was. Again, I have no idea why you think knowing his last name could cause anyone (since you say it didn't actually work for you apparently) to know his goals. Anyway, I seem to be violating some HN norms given the downvotes, so I'll end this here.
