I found LW through OB, which was mentioned on the SL4 list at least a year ago. I haven't contributed much in either place (nor did I post much on SL4), and mostly read OB and LW when I've used up the recent interesting commentary on reddit and Hacker News.

That said, I'm interested in rationality and thinking, but not to the extent that many here seem to be. I tend to assume my intuition is correct about things (biases and all) until it's obvious that it isn't, and due in part to this, I'm pretty conservative, morally, though libertarian/anarchist politically.
