I don't know if we want more visitors as much as we want more converts. We really do have a lot in common with a phyg, in that we have a particular worldview that isn't mainstream and that we're trying to spread.
Well, if they succeed in "converting" us to their way of thinking, because it's correct and they can persuasively argue for it, that's even better. Right?
Hopefully!
What is a convert? An irrational person who wants to become rational, or a more or less rational person who wants to become better?
Either.
More specifically, our worldview includes:
Atheism
Physicalism
Transhumanism, including radical life extension (or at least the belief that it would be a good idea)
Empiricism
Ethical naturalism
and some other things, including rejection of most of the kind of nonsense the Skeptic movement complains about
