      I get extremely suspicious of people when I discover that there's some guy whose work they're super into and have made the foundation of their personal philosophy. I do this even if the guy is someone whose work I like, and even if they're someone I like personally.

      (Theoretically I would also get extremely suspicious if the person whose work they were into was not a guy, but in practice the object of intellectual fixation usually seems to be a guy)

      I've been seeing this with David Deutsch a lot recently - a lot of people are super into him and whenever I find a new one I have a very strong "Oh gods not one of you again" reaction.

      I agree with this re the Critical Rationalist community (with one exception who I hope knows I am subtweeting her) but am too polite to say so :) “How do I avoid starting a cult” is something I occasionally worry about but it doesn’t seem imminent yet

      Do you have any ideas why cultishness hasn’t popped up around you, David? I wonder if meta-rat’ism having no fixed frame helps. CR does have this IMO, but everyone tends to interpret it as having a practical ideology that is True and Follows from the Laws of Epistemology.

      It's not totally clear to me that he doesn't have a cult, TBH. It's definitely a much smaller one than the number of metarats would suggest though, I think largely because metarat is only appealing after you've already got indigestion from eating a few other ideologies first.

      Yeah I have a horrible feeling I've become some weird metarat acolyte, which is bad because those people are annoying and also I have some pride. I'm still in the immersion phase, not the critique phase, though, so it seems unavoidable... that reading list isn't exactly short

      (I guess implicit in that is that it has to be immerse first critique later... in practice that's how it always works for me)

          Interesting. I think I reverse these - I tend to want to integrate new knowledge into existing frameworks so I'm naturally more critical of it as it clashes and then slowly integrate it more fully. TBH this is a lot of why I'm not (yet?) a metarat - haven't integrated it well

          Hm. Actually if I'm very unconvinced/suspicious of something I guess I do critique first. But in general I find less effective, because I have to artificially jam the thing into an existing framework instead of just seeing what it can do.
