Thanks for the support for InIn, and I hear your concerns about the in-jokes. This is one reason why we test-ran these slogans by a broad audience, and they proved intriguing to people, specifically the kind of people we want to attract to the rationality movement - reason-oriented young people, specifically reason-oriented college students who were members of the Secular Student Alliance. We chose to avoid some slogans that were not intriguing, such as "the map is not the territory."

Thanks for the ideas about the slogans! I like the idea of "I was stupider yesterday" and "Evidence or it doesn't happen," those might work well. "Super agenty" seems too much of an in-joke to me. Anyone else has suggestions for improving these?
