It's really not worth the read.
The whole point of the rationalist movement what to develop better intellectual hygiene, which meant taking people at their word and arguing against their ideas in good faith (Scott Alexander being the best demonstration of this).
To see essentially partisan political flame bait penned under the auspices of alleged rationality is pretty off-putting.
- Kim_Bruning 4y agoAs far as I know rationalwiki is more of a skeptics wiki (defined as being anti pseudoscience, cranks, etc.). The quality is variable. see: * https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Main_Page https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Main_Page
- ackfoobar 4y agoIt's my impression that RationalWiki and rationalism are quite orthogonal. https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/WYzZ3bxctEJ2q6HFQ/what-are-your-thoughts-on-rational-wiki https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/WYzZ3bxctEJ2q6HFQ/what-are-y... But I agree with your comment otherwise.
- lliamander 4y agoAh, that makes more sense. My thanks to you and Kim_Bruning for the clarification!
