Seeing Like A State and NNT were what reassured me that my unease with LessWrong style rationalism was actually quite well founded.

totes would put NNT on the obverse of the rationalists, tho- still operating in the Rationalist binary (but i’m still a Modern Techno-Optimist, so i’m PP-skeptic)

Precautionary Principle yeah, a lot of my people on here skew techno-pessimistic/skeptic that works for me, because technology works best under skeptical scrutiny!
