Seriously, you bring up a post titled "The Singularity Institute: How They Brainwash You" as supposed evidence towards you supporting LessWrong, MIRI whatever?
Yes, when you talk to LessWrongers, then you occasionally mention the old thing of how you consider it the "most intelligent and rational community I know of". But that evaluation isn't what you constantly repeat to people outside Lesswrong. When asking people "What does Alexander Kruel think of LessWrong?" nobody will say "He endorses it as the most intelligent and rational community he knows of!"
To people outside LessWrong you keep talking about how LessWrong/MIRI/whatever are people out to brainwash you. That's you being pretty much a definitive example of 'two-faced'.
You have edited your posts in that thread beyond all recognition. Back then (your original version of your posts) I bashed you for unthinking support of Lesswrong and unthinking condemnation of Rationalwiki.
As I said back then:
In short your "defense" of LessWrong against Rationalwiki at that time was as worthless, as unjust, as motivated by whatever biases drive you, as any later criticism of LessWrong by you has been. Whether defending LessWrong or criticizing it, you're always being in the wrong.
