Martyrdom is probably especially valuable when (i) a martyr is broadly loved as an individual, and (ii) there is at least some sympathy for the group they represent unfortunately Grey Tribe is mostly made of constitutional curmudgeons and weirdos /I/ love this, but Peoria?

re public sympathies: to be fair you have to have a very high iq to understand rationalism i mean this unironically blog post that I have been meaning to write once I get that up involves intellectual movements and broader adoption

my hunch is that (i) whatever idea you have will not be broadly adopted unless it can be boiled down to a slogan that a -1sd person can shout (ii) the -1sd slogan will ultimately become the movements rallying cry so hammer that out early

what would this be for rationalism? would you even want people to adopt it? consider the decay involved in the translation of eg Schlick and the Vienna Circle to IFuckingLoveScience

There is a proper time and place for making a stand. And now is not it for the Grey Tribers.

Now is the time for planning how to spend the rest of your life without being able to glibly tell everyone "I told you so" even though you really want to
