Because RW sucks at actually being rational. Rather they seem to have confused being "rational" with supporting whatever they perceive to be the official scientific position. Whereas LW has a number of contrarian positions, most notably cryonics and the Singularity, where it is widely believed the mainstream position is likely wrong and their argument for it is just silly.

It is worth noting that Eugene's main concern is that RW has no patience with "race realism", as its proponents call it.

I'm downvoting you not because I disagree, but rather because the question was addressed to David, not you.
