Good to know! It would be interesting for someone to write an "Intellectual History of LessWrong." I know there was this: http://slatestarcodex.com/2014/03/13/five-years-and-one-week-of-less-wrong/ But, as nice as this summary is, it focuses more on the questions that got solved and the culminating successes, and is less of a balance "history" that follows every trend, fad, and intellectual dead end (not to imply that neoreaction is necessarily a "dead end," but it doesn't make the list in this account).
