I like reading SSC as much as most people here, but Yvain doesn't guide or lead conversations on LW. This is less true for the greater Aspiring Rationalist Community where SSC posts can cause plenty of ripples across the pond.
Can you (or someone else) list some other people they see as pillars? (Genuinely asking; I have trouble noticing users being frequently insightful because the lack of avatars.)
If it's worth saying, but not worth its own post (even in Discussion), then it goes here.
Notes for future OT posters:
1. Please add the 'open_thread' tag.
2. Check if there is an active Open Thread before posting a new one. (Immediately before; refresh the list-of-threads page before posting.)
3. Open Threads should be posted in Discussion, and not Main.
4. Open Threads should start on Monday, and end on Sunday.
