You're describing the impressions I had of MENSA back in the 70's.

He probably is describing Mensa, and assuming that it also applies to the rationality community without having any specific knowledge of the latter.

(From my perspective, Hacker News is somewhere in the middle between Mensa and Less Wrong. Full of smart people, but most of them don't particularly care about evidence, if providing their own opinion confidently is an alternative.)
