Hi, I’m Harry. I’m a reader, writer and gamer with a passion for rationality and existential risk prevention. I sometimes jokingly compare my life to an intelligence explosion.
Also, I have a communication learning disability, so if I ever say or do anything to make you feel upset or uncomfortable feel free to let me know (although you don’t have to).
In other words, people who win at offline life spend less time on the internet because they’re devoting more time offline. And since rationalists are largely an online community rather than offline at least outside of the bay area, this results in rationalists dropping out of the conversation when they start winning. That’s a surprisingly plausible alternative explanation. I’ll have to think about this.
