I’m going to upvote this even though it isn’t terribly well articulated because I think it presents some semi-valid criticism and I think it will be healthy to force everyone to address it.
mormon1, have you seen this thing Eliezer wrote on Löb’s Theorem? I think Eliezer is mostly trying to evangelize with this blog, but he’s smart enough to know that just telling people how awesome his institute is will not be sufficient. Hence he’s writing a series on “building rationalist communities”, members of which he anticipates will be more willing to donate/work for his institute. See the comment by Anonymous here and Eliezer’s response to it.
