These are thoughts I’ve been grappling with over several years of active participation in the LessWrong meetup community.

1. Clique, Guild, Cult

2. We live in a society

3. Society is a social construct, pace Arrow

4. Fear of crowding out

5. Call for machers

6. Rubber stamp errors

7. Anti-civicality

8. “Community organizer” is a double oxymoron

9. So are you some kind of communist?
