I'm not. But I like reading to interesting but wrong stuff and chatting to interesting nerds, and they've got plenty of both, so...https://twitter.com/__justplaying/status/1301227352844914688 …

Like basically if you like talking about maths, feelings, and philosophy on the internet, you're going to end up knowing a fair bunch of rationalists.

All that being said, I do routinely engage in the core defining practice of rationalism: Arguing with rationalists.

TBH there are probably people who believe roughly what I do and would still self-describe as rationalists - it's a more heterogeneous bunch than the caricatures would suggest - I just never got into the community proper.

There's a lot of things I think of as core tenets of the rationalists that I flat out reject, but I'm pretty sure that's not a disqualification for being a rationalist.

What core tenets do you reject?

Utilitarianism and Bayesian updating are bad models of how people should behave. I'm also pretty skeptical about AI.
