I wish I understood why some rationalists find so terrifying the prospect that they might be part of a cult. Or why they so desperately (and publicly!) reject the prospect that anyone might see them as having a leader. I mean, I understand that there's a normative component to both, but I don't get where the sheer power of this fear comes from. It's probably an important aspect of our lack of coordination, but I don't understand it.
Presumably the minority of people who for whatever reason strongly feel this way (whether rightly or wrongly), are the most likely to self-identify as rationalists.
