If you have somewhere to go, if you have anywhere to go, this can't fly.

Yes, yes.

If you've got a friend who's like a nurse or a contractor that you have drinks with once a week and you just talk about your ideas once, they're gonna be like, hey, this is bad.

You're going down a bad road.

Do you need to stay with me?

Are you okay?

Yeah, this is clearly like a cousin.

Yes, someone.

This would be so upsetting for someone to just casually talk about it like a paint and sip.

Like Ricky Gervais?

Yeah, Ricky.

So by this point, their breaks with mainstream rationalism had gone terminal.

Gwyn criticized the central rationalist community for, quote, not taking heroic responsibility for the outcome of this world.

In addition to the definitely accurate claims of sexual abuse within rationalism, they alleged organizations like CIFAR were actively transphobic.

I don't know how true that is.

Some of the articles I've read, there's a lot of trans rationalists who will be like, no, there's a very high population of trans people within the rationalist community.

So people disagree about this.

It's not my place to come to a conclusion, but this is one of the things that Ziz says about the central rationalist community.

Ziz had concluded that transgender people were the best people to build a cabal around because they, quote from Ziz's blog, had unusually high life force.

Ziz believed that the mental powers locked within the small community of simpatico rationalists they'd gathered together were enough to alter the fate of the cosmos if everyone could be jailbroken into sociopaths.
