There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity. |
Fighting pseudoscience isn't free. We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $10, $20 or whatever you can today with ![]() ![]() |

She also Blogs for the Rationally Speaking Blog,[1] and is the President of LessWrong spinoff the Center for Applied Rationality (CFAR),[2] which originally marketed itself as an exercise in applied skepticism, but recently pivoted to admit it was all about AI Risk in the LessWrong sense.[3]
