How many of you have kids? Damn few. The LessWrong mindset is maladaptive. It leads to leaving behind fewer offspring. A well-adapted human cares above all about sex, love, family, and friends, and isn’t distracted from those things by an ADD-ish fascination with type theory. That’s why they probably have more sex, love, and friends than you do.
The survey seems to confirm this—at least the part regarding about children, less so about relationships.
Data point: I have four children and I do have open-ended interests but it depends on the balance. Children do a lot to the balancing here. But I agree that it is difficult to find a matching partner.
