I seem to recall “street epistemology” being popular among the Russian Less Wrong community. Perhaps one of them could comment, telling us of their experiences with it? Does “street epistemology” as practiced by Russian LessWrongers resemble what is described in the OP? How does it play out in practice? How fair are these criticisms?
The criticisms are somewhat fair if SE is considered a literal application of what’s said in the articles from the webside, but what we practice doesn’t resemble what’s described in the OP. I’ve written a comment below.
