It's nice to see Bayesian arguments used to refute the Bayesian arguments used by the cult itself, too.

Big Yud claiming to know "the secrets of the universe" makes him A FUCKING CULT LEADER. Full stop.

    "Rationalism" as a self labeled movement is what is wrong. It claims to be based in rational thinking when it's actually based on Harry Potter fanfiction and the ego trip of said Harry Potter fanfiction's author and all of his personal biases. It isn't rational, but it calls itself "rationalism" and it's effective enough that random strangers can assume that criticism of "rationalism" is a criticism of being rational.
