there's nothing new age about it.

the site is about cognitive biases and trying to improve yourself by correcting for them.

a lot of the people on the site care about doing this because they want to create an AI that will fix all the worlds problems, but doing so is very dangerous so they don't want to overlook anything.

also most of people on it are idiots.
