Yeah. Ziz goes back and she tells this person, okay, here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to pick a group of three people at the event I respect, including you. And if two of them vote that they think I have a net negative value, quote, I'll leave EA and existential risk and the rationalist community and so on forever. I'd transition and move probably to Seattle.

Part Two: The Zizians: Birth of a Cult Leader

I heard it was relatively nice for trans people. and there do what I could to be a normie. Retool my mind as much as possible to be stable, unchanging, and a normie. Gradually abandon my Facebook account and email. Use a name change as a story for that. And... God, that would have been the best thing for her.

Oh man. She sees this as a nightmare, right? This is the worst case scenario for her, right? Because you're not part of the cause. You know, you have no involvement in the great quest to save humanity. That's worse than death almost, right?

You know, that's the logical thing to do. Yeah. It's so fucked up. It's so fucked up. And also if she's trying to live a normal life as a normie and she, she refers to like being a normie as like, just trying to be nice to people. Cause again, that's useless. So her fear here is that she would be a causal negative if she does this. Right.
