  • ...a trip to an alternate universe, a road not taken, a vision of a different life where you get up and start the day in dialogue with Agnes Callard

    Who? Oh, right, her:

    In 2011, Callard divorced her husband, fellow University of Chicago professor Ben Callard, who she had married in 2003.[20] She began a relationship with Arnold Brooks, who was a graduate student at the time.

    Dear fellow academics: Live so that the "Personal life" section of your Wikipedia article is empty.

  • Matt Levine, qntm

    I can see why these would appeal to LW crowd. One of them writes cosmic horror about monstrous alien phenomena that can't be directly perceived preying on humanity and all life in the universe, and qntm writes wordy science fiction.

    No comment on Wildbow. I'm sure Worm is excellent but I'm just not in the market for three HPMoR wordcounts of capeshit, so I don't know what his deal is. Bummer for him to have one of his characters be the indirect namesake of a notorious murder cult.

  • Jesus Christ, $550?? That's a bit steep for a forum meet.

    Spose that's a good way to ensure all attendants are enlightened centrists.

    • To be scrupulously fair there were multiple banners on LW announcing that prices would rise unless locked in early. NFC what they started at though, maybe $400?

      Personally you would have to pay me $5,500 + room and board to force me to attend.
