I have yet to apply Bayes in any kind of formal manner that I didn't prior to finding Less Wrong. My mental framework has still shifted significantly, and the NYC community has benefited me even though there has not been any central focus on Bayes.

Much as I love the phrase "Bayesian Conspiracy", I don't think it's actually descriptive of what I've been participating in.

I though "Bayesian Conspiracy" was a wonderful name for the LW contingent that did Burning Man, but I'm not sure that it works that well in other contexts.
