I really don’t like the term “LW consensus” (isn’t there a LW post about how you should separate out bundles of ideas and consider them separately because there’s no reason to expect the truth of one idea in a bundle to correlate strongly with the truth of the others? If there isn’t, there should be). I’ve been using “LW memeplex” instead to emphasize that these ideas have been bundled together for not necessarily systematically good reasons.

OK, replaced with “LW ideas”.
