this is a nice writeup of the story of Ziz

extremely normal thing and definitely not cult shit (ziz):
Something I don’t think I ended up writing, was a random conversation on what it meant to be good and a Sith. In which I said, something like, well, I’m doing whatever I want, no matter what, which in my case is good things.
also seems weird that vassar went from failed let-me-google-scholar-that-for-you fake medical startup to a niche rat cult leader. can't any single one of these people get a normal job?

I'm starting to think maybe it was a mistake to let nerd media take over the world.

How are you going to get them back to
the farma retail job oncethey've seen Paristasted cult power?-
pol pot was in paris and tasted cult power and all it took to get him back to farm and out of power was Vietnamese invasion. personally i think that Vietnamese invasion on all ea compounds would solve a lots of problems and disband a couple of startups

I'm so used to bad rat science being expressed in obscurantist math and quantum physics jargon that the kindergarten neuro woo like "each half-a-brain has a 1 in 20 chance of being ontologically Good" and "nonbinary people have one half of their brain be transgender" throws me off.
Where are the Planck units and the h-bars, category theory, maybe something about Turing machines or Gödel? Can't you at least throw in a square root or something? Is this all it takes to stroke the a modern STEM dweeb's ego? I guess all the talk about "debugging" and "jailbreaking" compensates for the infantile aesthetics of the crankery.

I'm glad the non sanitized details are making it out.

Footnote 1: As a consequence of this approach to thinking and life, rationalists are, as a rule, unbelievably prolix, wall-eyed, and tedious writers, and also polyamorous.
"Wall-eyed" hit me as odd, so I go to look it up: https://www.wordnik.com/words/walleyed
The first entry:
adjective Often Offensive Affected with exotropia.
Well-played, Max!

Merriam-Webster says "marked by a wild irrational staring of the eyes"
Which sounds a bit more accurate than a mere physical quirk.

@dgerard I can't help but imagine what a Zizian would do if one endarkened them with the knowledge that lettuce in salad was not allowed to grow to maturity (flowering) before being harvested and consumed
