There are certainly 100,000 people as smart as the current community who might one day read Less Wrong. What seems unlikely is that we can expand without lowering barriers to entry. Lowering these barriers, it seems to me, would make it very difficult to restrict our recruitment to those who are in that 100,000.
It's complicated-- I'd say that for current members to keep promoting it in their social circles will tend to maintain quality. And MOR Is helpful, too.
Just expanding for its own sake wouldn't be a good idea.
Figuring out a more efficient way of teaching rationality than the sequences (I hope Eliezer's book will be that) would be a very good thing.
