      * Something formal in philosophy * People who take a strong philosophical inspiration from Yudkowsky's sequences * People who take an inspiration from the LW gestalt * People who may never have participated in the site in its heyday but are part of the cultural milieu (me)

      Usually when used pejoratively it's pointed at the second definition with the implication that they are slavishly devoted to Yudkowsky's views. This is rarely accurate.

          Philosophy shit about knowledge that I don't have memorized or the time to dig up right now--my own issues (if you take him seriously) are around his certainty of unknowables in physics, among other things.
