The Happiness Code: Cold, hard rationality
The tl;dr version of this is that &quot;Applied Rationality&quot; is a New Age cult, whose God is &quot;Rationality&quot; and whose Devil is human nature, rather than watered down Eastern mysticism.<p>The creepy part is how they expect you to live together and unquestionably repeat the mantras (&quot;techniques&quot;). It reeks of dianetics and other bullshit that claims to be a cure-all for all of your problems.
