RationalWiki serves as a bridge for the inferential distance problem so often discussed here. Topics such as fallacies and biases are discussed at RationalWiki in a language that the general public can understand. As a gateway drug toward more advanced rationality, it has an educational value that we shouldn't dismiss.
This effect seems overshadowed by worries that knowing about biases can hurt people to me.
Ok, I'm convinced. I'm editing the article to take out RationalWiki. Thanks for helping me update!
