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.”
