Are there interesting reasons that some LW regulars feel disdain for RationalWiki, besides RW's unflattering opinion of LW/EY? Can you steelman that disdain into a short description of what's wrong with RW, from their point of view? (I'm asking as someone basically unfamiliar with RW).
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.
