I have done a check of about half an hour on all kinds of material published by herself and in conclusion I believe with a high degree of certainty that she says a lot of largely untrue things. Whether that's due to utter brain malfunction or lying I cannot say.
"For instance, most people consistently fail to save for retirement."
Strange example since there might almost be evolutionary reasons to not care for later, i.e it being rational from the pov of our genes.
You're literally replying this to a top level comment with the headline "On retaliating" that gives examples for how to retaliate.
I doubt many of the 'facts' they provide are provably wrong but a number of RationalWiki articles struck me as very tendentious and one-sided and as such portraying a subject matter in a way that leads to wrong conclusions unless one gathers additional information.
E.g. from the RW article on SA: "He is highly critical of communism, [...] Much as with neoreaction, this hasn't stopped him from writing long book reports and getting very interested, for example, in the details of central planning in the USSR.". Rhetorics like 'Much as with neoreaction [...]' don't belong in a wiki, much less one that names itself RationalWiki.
