we got to reel this fish in, right? So this is described as an academic conference by people who are in the AI risk field and rationalism, thinking of ways to save the universe because only the true, the super geniuses can do that. The actual, why I'm really glad that I read Ziz's account here is I've been reading about these people for a long time. I've been reading about their beliefs.

I felt there's some cult stuff here When Ziz laid out what happened at this seminar, this self-help seminar put on by these people very close to Yudkowsky, It's almost exactly the same as a Synanon meeting. It's the same stuff. It's the same shit. It's the same as accounts of big self-help movement things from the 70s and stuff that I've read. That's when it really clicked to me, right?

I think I used my turn on a problem I thought they might actually be able to help with. The fact that it did, although it didn't seem to affect my productivity or willpower at all, i.e. I was inhumanly determined basically all the time, I still felt terrible all the time. That I was hurting to some degree, relinquishing my humanity.

I was sort of vaguing about the pain of being trans and having decided not to transition. And so this is a part of the thing. You build a connection between other people in this group by getting people to spill their secrets to each other. It's a thing Scientology does. It's a thing they did at Synanon. Tell me your darkest secret, right? Exactly, yeah.

Wow. Yeah. The hamming circle doesn't sound so bad. If you'll recall, and as you mentioned this, it was really good that you did it in part one, Synanon would have people break into circles where they would insult and attack each other in order to create a traumatic experience that would bond them together and with the cult. Yeah. These hamming circles are weird, but they're not that.
