RationalWiki's article on the Theory

[Captain Genet]

I used to adore the sceptic community: Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris and Co. Now I see them as heirs of the Enlightenment mantle, which means they cannot see beyond Liberalism. Since S&H doesn't see the individual as making 100% rational and independent decisions, but yielding to social mood, it is out of scope of Liberalism and belongs more to Communitarian reasoning. The sceptics are mostly young single men who are radical individualists by nature and think about the world in terms of linear improvement because they can see linear growth in video game resolution and processor speed.
