Have you looked at the rest of the internet recently?
Not really. But are you saying that nowhere else on the internet is close to LessWrong’s standards of discourse? I’d figured that but part of me keeps saying “there’s no way that can be true” for some reason.
It might be true when it comes to cross-domain rationality (with a few outliers like social abilities). But it certainly isn’t true that Less Wrong is anywhere close to the edge in most fields (with a few outliers like decision theory).
A better question is how many of them are willing to create a site like LessWrong.
Also minor nitpick about your use of the word ‘cool’, since it normally denotes social status rather than rationality.
