David, is it possible that LW is actually “meta-r” by your definition, even though it uses “r” to label itself?
-
-
I don’t see much meta-r reasoning on LW (although there’s certainly some).
-
They discuss whether the proper goal of rationality is truth or winning. That's one meta-r topic. Most is normative epistemology, though.

Meta-r means figuring out how particular ontologies relate to reality and therefore which to use when.
-
If there’s good examples of that on LW, I’d be interested to read them!

If you cite Scott/Sarah as not especially “r-ists,” I think you could be charitable and assume the whole lot is (or aspires to) their level.

Well, that would be charitable, but would it be true? :)
