This should probably be an open thread comment.
Note that you've seen "several people" out of hundreds recommend Mencius Moldbug. That is not surprising given that he has debated Robin Hanson, and I believe was linked by Robin several times on Overcoming Bias. I'm not sure how you go from "several people" to "so popular". I don't think there's anything to explain.
I guess I mistook a small but noticeable minority for some sort of community consensus. In retrospect, that was kind of silly of me.
The question then becomes why is it noticeable.
Edit: Athrelon has since made an interesting observation.
