Aaron, I currently place you in the category of "unconstructive critic of SI" (there are constructive critics). Unlike some unconstructive critics, I think you're capable of more, but I'm finding it a little hard to pin down what your criticisms are, even though you've now made three top-level posts and every one of them has contained some criticism of SI or Eliezer for not being fully rational.
Something else that they have in common is that none of them just says "SI is doing this wrong". The current post says "Here is my cynical explanation for why SI is doing this thing that I say is wrong". (Robin Hanson sometimes does this - introduces a new idea, then jumps to "cynical" conclusions about humanity because they haven't already thought of the idea and adopted it - and it's very annoying.) The other two posts introduce the criticisms in the guise of offering general advice on how to be rational: "Here is a rationality mistake that people make; by coincidence, my major example involves the founder of the rationality website where I'm posting this advice."
I suggest, first of all, that if your objective on this site is to give advice about how to be rational, then you need to find a broader range of examples. People here respect Eliezer, for very good reasons. If you do want to make a concentrated critique of how he has lived his life, then make a post about that, don't disguise it as a series of generic reflections on rationality which just happen to be all about him.
Personally I would be much more interested in what you have to say about the issue of AI. Do you even think AI is a threat to the human race? If so, what do you think we should do about it?
My friend, hearing me recount tales of LessWrong, recently asked me if I thought it was simply a coincidence that so many LessWrong rationality nerds cared so much about creating Friendly AI. "If Eliezer had simply been obsessed by saving the world from asteroids, would they all be focused on that?"
Obviously one possibility (the inside view) is simply that rationality compels you to focus on FAI. But if we take the outside view for a second, it does seem like FAI has a special attraction for armchair rationalists: it's the rare heroic act that can be accomplished without ever confronting reality.
After all, if you want to save the planet from an asteroid, you have to do a lot of work! You have to build stuff and test it and just generally solve a lot of gritty engineering problems. But if you want to save the planet from AI, you can conveniently do the whole thing without getting out of bed.
Indeed, as the Tool AI debate as shown, SIAI types have withdrawn from reality even further. There are a lot of AI researchers who spend a lot of time building models, analyzing data, and generally solving a lot of gritty engineering problems all day. But the SIAI view conveniently says this is all very dangerous and that one shouldn't even begin to try implementing anything like an AI until one has perfectly solved all of the theoretical problems first.
Obviously this isn't any sort of proof that working on FAI is irrational, but it does seem awfully suspicious that people who really like to spend their time thinking about ideas have managed to persuade themselves that they can save the entire species from certain doom just by thinking about ideas.
