Most of these are not dominant on LW, but come up often enough to make me twitchy. I am not interested in debating or discussing the merits of these points here because that's a one-way track to a flamewar this thread doesn't need.

• The stronger forms of evolutionary psychology and human-diversity stuff. High confidence that most/all demographic disparities are down to genes. The belief that LessWrong being dominated by white male technophiles is more indicative of the superior rationality of white male technophiles than any shortcomings of the LW community or society-at-large.

• Any and all neoreactionary stuff.

• High-confidence predictions about the medium-to-far-future (especially ones that suggest sending money)

• Throwing the term "eugenics" around cavalierly and assuming that everyone knows you're talking about benevolent genetic engineering and not forcibly-sterilizing-people-who-don't-look-like-me.

There should be a place to discuss these things, but it probably shouldn't be on a message board dedicated to spreading and refining the art of human rationality. LessWrong could easily be three communities:

• a rationality forum (based on the sequences and similar, focused on technique and practice rather than applying to particular issues)

• a transhumanist forum (for existential risk, cryonics, FAI and similar)

• an object-level discussion/debate forum (for specific topics like feminism, genetic engineering, neoreactionism, etc).
