I was never a rationalist proper in the first place, but I did notice that I needed to add increasingly careful disclaimers about sharing rationalist stuff over time.

(I do think there's an actual asshole problem in some rationalist spaces, especially SSC comment threads, but it's mostly rationalist-adjacents and even there it's closer to an asshole presence than an asshole problem per se)

the ostensible asshole problem is that neurotypicals can't deal with autist straight shooters

Ehhh. Yes, that's some of it, but I think there are some other problems in there too. I don't really want to argue the case though because I'm not that wed to my position on it and basically agree with you.

I'm not that wed to my position and mostly agree but that's the beauty of metarationality at work

I rationally decided to be lazy about arguing on the internet about things that don't matter that much.

LOL ^ this is something else entirely this is *wisdom*, folks

Turns out people can have different opinions from me and then I can, this is the clever bit, just let them go on doing that and not worry about it. It's pretty neat.
