> This is nonsense. It's an article posted to a curated community blog by some guy who happens to like reading tons of psychology papers and wanted to do some research into the state of scientific understanding of happiness... ...and is executive director of MIRI, the organization hosting and providing most of the content to Less Wrong.

Which would be an equivalent of pg posting his essay to HN, and then people accusing HNers of cultishness because of that essay. Hmm... actually, that happens every now and then and is exactly as fair as the accusations against lukeprog and LessWrong. Also, MIRI was created years after LessWrong.

  MIRI is the continuation of SIAI which predates (and started) LessWrong.

    Though Luke's involvement does not, not that that really means much.
