I’m certainly not against using chunked concepts on here per se. But I think associating this community too closely with sci-fi/fantasy tropes could have deleterious consequences in the long run, as far as attracting diverse viewpoints and selling the ideas to people who aren’t already pre-disposed to buying them. If Eliezer really wanted to proselytize by poeticizing, he should turn LW into the most hyper-rational, successful PUA community on the Internet, rather than the Star Wars-esque roleplaying game it seems to want to become.
yes, what to call the chunk is a separate issue...I at least partially agree with you, but I’d want to hear what others have to say. The recent debate over the tone of the Twelve Virtues seems relevant.
