Your intuition appears to like LW-approved things, and you are on LW. Don’t you think that learning about consequentialism might beneficially rewire one’s intuition?
If you are implying that learning about rationality on LW made my intuitions more rational, then you should know that I made all those decisions long before joining LW about 5 months ago.
However, I wouldn’t be surprised with the fact the LW conforms to most of my intuitions (except the whole anti-deathism and singularity stuff) as one of the reasons I joined the site. I remember thinking “OMGWTF there are people who are OPENLY POLY on here, outside of a poly-specific group!!!” I’m sure it doesn’t hurt that I find rationality and psychology to be amazingly interesting.

Honestly, I’m not sure what I was thinking when I wrote that comment. I’m aware you joined rather recently...
Perhaps “intellectual beliefs and intuitions seem to be correlated, which suggests that one can rewire one by tinkering with the other.”
