The people at SIAI, and also Leo Szilard, are impressive consequentialists.
There are a lot of people whom I admire as epistemic rationalists. Pierre-Simon Laplace is one.
Zero-sum domains are not a great place to look for rationalists, but I admire Honinbo Dosaku for using higher-level and better abstractions than his contemporaries. Also Brad Baker (the fencer).
I’m having a hard time thinking of good heroes from fiction. Matt Simpson mentioned one, but I’d probably just file HJPEV under EY (modulo some quirks).
I always had a spot for Szilard, but not sure if it was just his personality. I have since had to distance myself from ‘brilliant scientist’ = rational equality. Any behavior in particular that stood out?
