Shen Dao was fixated on laws and did not understand the value of having worthy people.

Don't worry, I'm interested in worthy people and the things that keep worthy people around.

Let it die and hope something better rises up from its ashes.

I suggested as much before, but the thing that convinced me was talking with Malcolm about a new blog that he was setting up with some rationalist all-stars, that had 90 feedly subscriptions basically immediately after the announcement, and then we checked the LW RSS and saw that it had ten thousand subscriptions on feedly.

There are huge switching costs with moving off LessWrong relative to fixing LessWrong.
