Removing the part about Curtis Yarvin
It looks like someone archives the previous discussion on neoreaction, making the cross-discussion hard to follow, but I want to continue the previous discussion where I was saying that there's no reason to mention Curvis here (it seems he posted a total of one (1) comment in 2007 on Overcoming Bias even before it was LessWgong, and even that comment didn't generate much discussion. @Getnormality seemed to agree (no-one objected), so I'll go ahead and edit.

- Hmm, there was also mention of Hanson's debate with Moldbug, but that happened in May 2009, so after LessWrong was split from Overcoming Bias (February 2009), so, doesn't really seem relevant either? I removed it as well.
- There are probably other ways to reformulate the intro to that section, I considered leaving " The comment section of Overcoming Bias attracted prominent neoreactionaries" (but without the example of Moldbug), but that seems both a) unsourced (the source only mentioned moldbug, whose contribution hardly seems notable) and b) not really important or relevant, even if it was sourced, but if someone can find a better way to reformulate that, go ahead.
