 E.g., see the following, from one of the top rationality celebs, who suggests that the rationality community should run Twitter and suggests as CEO someone they praise for having great epistemic hygiene.

The praised person is the programmer who wrote the most technically ignorant/overconfident take on Twitter infra I saw: https://mastodon.social/@danluu/109374630690202023.

(BTW, not a cherry picked example in any dim. The #2 worst take was from another rationality person, person above is generally overconfident, etc.)
