The Rationalist Community is Irrational

A group calling itself the Rationalists Community believes that if you apply the right mental tools, Bayesian updating, probability calibration, decision theory, you can out-think everyone else and avoid the common errors regular people make. 

The average membership age of this group is in the mid-late 20s, meaning they have less than three decades of real life experience.

How irrational.

As ever-increasing numbers of Sharia-adherent Muslims are elected to political offices at all levels of the U.S. government, people continue to insist that Sharia is an entirely benign religious law with no political content, to which only hate-filled “Islamophobes” could possibly object.
