Circling is not any more of an institution than meditation is, although the general idea does lend itself to cults. Also, I would never circle on video so what you see on YouTube is selected for marketing, not representativeness. As for novel institutions:https://twitter.com/yashkaf/status/1300576017489317889?s=19 …

Is there a single thing associated with the Rationalist (tm) brand you're willing to admit to sincerely liking or would that ruin your street cred forever?

My sense is that the real reason you don't want to like circling is not because it's a hippy cult or manipulative or touchy feely, but because it's about legibility. So are many other Rationalist things like polyamory and CFAR and making bets on object level things.
