    I listened to parts 2—4 today and even with an above-average familiarity with rationalist weirdness it was a wild fucking ride.

    Kinda wild to have a community of vegan trans women whose most notable victims are a border patrol agent and a landlord and who are still the baddies in this situation.

    The HPMOR/LW parts and to a lesser extent bits of CFAR were absolutely familiar (and all the more cringeworthy for it). Never quite realized exactly how obviously psychologically torturous cult shit CFAR event were about.

      same. I’d known quite a depth of detail, but had never gotten as deep as the innards of those quotes from conference conversations

      super healthy and normal situations.
