Which is interesting, because Gwern.net/LW2 (there’s a lot of overlap in their design) look little like Overcoming Bias does or LW1 did, and those were the heydays of rationalists. (In designing Gwern.net, I’ve tended to look to English Wikipedia & Art Deco, rather than anything one might associate with the Greco-Romans or the Logical Positivists—IMO, these websites do not look like Isotype or Bauhaus.)
You’re half right…
Gwern’s site design is extremely “rationalist” to me, though I don’t see that as a bad thing. The site itself looks beautiful.
