I can't speak for others but I've come to see the Less Wrong / hardline rationalist crowd as having had some interesting ideas despite the Sam Bankman Fried of it all. Rationalwiki can be rather snarky, but can be a good resource.

I was content to damn them with faint praise and save everyone the hassle. EY is a reasonably good writer who repackaged a lot of good ideas (Kahneman et al) and came up with a lot of less impressive original ideas (all the parts you've highlighted, many more). His most enjoyable work was fiction.

I've never been impressed with my fellow Americans who talk shit on the French. We have mostly let go of our revolutionary spirit, and they never did. We would do well to pick up where we left off at Blair mountain.
