Pedo triangle symbol, kind of.

There's no evidence that it actually works, so by their own standards it's snake oil.

They've pivoted into Center for Recruiting People into the MIRI Cult.

Free market in ideas! Intellectual diversity is good! Don't go to MIRI like everyone else, FFS!

I attended one of their weekend workshops, waaay back in the day. Like 5 or so years ago.

Long story short, it didn't help me and the networking opportunities were negligible, but hey, at least I was so poor that they got me in on a scholarship, so at least I didn't spend any money to find out that the self-help was abstract snake oil.

Nice money-making scheme.

I'd rather attend a center for applied irrationality.
Just think of all the fun.

Ironically they don't use the methods they teach to evaluate the effectiveness of the methods they teach.

It's snake oil.

What if they did, would you trust them then?

I don't see a practical way to control for selection bias.

is big-r Rationality simply a form of mental masturbation?

What I can gather from LW and related crowds is their user bases are Low-EQ introvert shut-ins, dorky STEM college students and polyamorous fan fiction writers that need something distracting to think about.

Chad has never once questioned his beliefs or actions, he was born an irrational winner and will die as one. The Rationalist Virgin is stuck in xis head ruminating over self-doubt and inferiority/superiority complexes, mental models and cognitive biases etc, and consistently fails at life. (This is 100% true, don't overanalyse it).

im giving you breadcrumbs to bootstrap from virginity to chadhood

it's post-munchhausens (trilemma and syndrome). you cannot logically overcome autism, but you can self-overcome via will-to-power.

would you rather wallow in this wretched tranny-hive or ascend to save The West

I take every idea seriously except for "Rationalists should win"
