Having strong opinions on QM interpretations is "not even wrong."

LW's attitude on B is, at best, "arguable."

Donating to MIRI as an effective use of money is, at best, "arguable."

LW consequentialism is, at best, "arguable."

Shitting on philosophy.

Ratonalism as part of identity (aspiring rationalist) is kind of dangerous.

etc.

What I personally find valuable is "adapting the rationalist kung fu stance" for certain purposes.

I read that "B" and assumed that you had a reason for not spelling it out, so I concluded that you meant Basilisk.
