Imagine a thousand professional philosophers would join lesswrong

Completely off topic but my ... a few hundred LWers vs. thousands of professional philosophers. That sounds like an idea for a fanfic webcomic.

"A thousand proponents of mainstream philosophy descend upon you! Our down votes will blot out the sequences!"

300/LW fanfic

Imagine.

EDIT: In response to downvotes, I will explain:

Philip turned to Sparta; he sent them a message, "You are advised to submit without further delay, for if I bring my army into your land, I will destroy your farms, slay your people, and raze your city." Their laconic reply: "If". Philip and Alexander would both leave them alone.

It may be of interest that the word "laconic" is exactly the right one. Laconia = Sparta (well, strictly Sparta was just one part of Laconia) and its people were famously terse.
