We used to have sort of one cultural island that was allowed. It was a typical subspace of thought and anything that was diverting from that subspace of thought was suppressed or you were canceled, right? Now we've created a new mode, but the whole point is that we're not trying to have a very restricted space of thought. There's not just one way to think about EAC and its many forks.

And the point is that there are many forks and there can be many clusters and many islands and I shouldn't be in control of it. in any way. I mean, there's no formal org whatsoever. I just put out tweets and certain blog posts and people are free to defect and fork if there's an aspect they don't like. And so, that makes it so that there should be

a sort of deterritorialization in the space of ideas so that we don't end up in one cluster that's very cult-like. And so cults usually, they don't allow people to defect or start competing forks, whereas we encourage it, right?

Yeah. So initially, I think what allowed us to grow under the radar was because it was camouflaged as sort of meta-ironic, right? We would sneak in deep truths within a package of humor and memes and what are called shitposts, right? And I think that was purposefully a sort of camouflage against those that...

seek status and do not want to... It's very hard to argue with a cartoon frog or a cartoon of an intergalactic Jeff Bezos and take yourself seriously. And so, that allowed us to grow pretty rapidly in the early days. But of course, that's

you know, essentially people get steered, their notion of the truth comes from the data they see from the information they're fed and the information people are fed is determined by algorithms, right? And really what we've been doing is sort of engineering what we call high mimetic fitness packets of information so that they can spread effectively and carry a message, right? So it's kind of a

a vector to spread the message. And yes, we've been using techniques that are optimal for today's algorithmically amplified information landscapes. But I think we're reaching the point of scale where we can have serious debates and serious conversations. And that's why we're considering doing a bunch of debates and having more serious long-form discussions. Because I don't think that...
