Agreed. It's great insight into what LessWrong types consider "brilliance", though, so I don't regret reading it.

I've been calling them hyper-rationalists.

There's a line somewhere in the story where I think Harry is delighted to have found at Hogwarts a group of people who talk like people in novels instead of all the other people he knows from school. It's a line that resonated with me for sure but gets at some of what I don't like about this philosophy.

I on the other hand, get no insight from yours not liking hpmor. what exactly did you two found wanting, and why?

This is not a challenge. I really want to know.
