Cool! This is really silly, but should Less Wrong be thinking about having its own internet store? The main advantage I'm thinking of is having a place to go to buy tons of good pre-screened books on rationality. (Although Less Wrong coffee mugs are good too.)
I'm going to do some research to estimate profitability and then draft a business plan. (I love having Visiting Fellows around to help me with this kind of thing!)
As long as we're talking T-shirt designs, I've long wanted to wear a LaTeX-based "Rationalist" shirt: i.e. the logo
I'd also wear the corresponding "Realist" shirt.
If anyone uses this idea, all I want is a free shirt.
Also N, for naturalist?
Considered that too, but I don't really like hiking.
Realist too. Not sure what a complexist believes though!
You really don't want to get into debates with H-ists...
Back when I was doing this, one of my "placeholder hypotheses" was that the physical correlate of conscious cognition is a series of octonionic gravitational instantons, perhaps implementing future SIAI director of research Ben Goertzel's fuzzy ideas about octonionic cognition. So I've tarried with the octonion cult.
(A placeholder hypothesis is something you don't exactly believe, but it's a complicated specific idea which is somehow suggestive of how you think the truth might be. The complexity is there as a starting point for the hypothetical future day when you have the time and knowledge to think about the issue properly.)
Markdown: 
Thanks! It didn't look right to me when I tried the web app.
Those shirts just gave me a LessWrongasm. I will definitely get ahold of one.
Is there maybe a way to combine Bayes' Theorem with LessWrong on a single shirt? Or would that exceed the Bekenstein bound of maximal awesome in a given volume?
OK, have changed the link to point at the store! I prefer the one without the box, but it's a matter of taste.
I'd prefer the one with the box if it didn't have the box.
