Do you think rationalists use ‘insane’ and ‘crazy’ more than the general population, and/or in a different way than the general population? (e.g. definition 3 when you google ‘insane definition’)
Yeah, I think some rationalists, e.g. Eliezer, use it a lot more than the general population, and differently from the popular figurative sense. As in “raising the sanity waterline.”
