"Large" is very vague.

The leaderboard shows (50 of) 166385 registered accounts* on https://www.lesswrong.com/leaderboard

This is simultaneously a large body and an insignificant minority.

* How many are junk accounts? IDK. But I do know it's international, because I live in Berlin, Germany, and socialise regularly.

I have an account on LessWrong. Heck, I even try to act rationally most of the time.

I don’t consider myself a Rationalist or part of the Rationalist community.

I wouldn’t be at all surprised if that number turns out to overstate the size by an order of magnitude.

This made me chuckle. Thanks!
