Good rabbit hole. This guy saw Stallman dressed as St Ignutious singing 'You'll be free hackers you'll be free' and went 'yes, that is exactly who I want to be, feed me the toe cheese'

Ok, I got a chunk of the way through it, they're running it less like a nonprofit and more like the fucking mansion family, what a horror show.

Alice and Chloe report that they were advised not to spend time with ‘low value people’, including their families, romantic partners, and anyone local to where they were staying, with the exception of guests/visitors that Nonlinear invited. Alice and Chloe report this made them very socially dependent on Kat/Emerson/Drew and otherwise very isolated.

Like if this was a journalist piece the first paragraph would contain 'cult' and it would relate this example, not make me wade through an entire section about his sit down interview with a Member Of The Family.

Jesus Christ trying to read this is like climbing K2 except instead of snow it's neologisms. Is there anything interesting buried in there?

I only read the intro bit and I had complaints, looked at the scrollbar, felt despair and then I realized nobody is forcing me to read all this, I could just stop.

Average experience reading a LW article

trying to solve climate change from within Exxon Mobil

Cap the wells, scrap the equipment, fuck the shareholders. Every day they make the deliberate decision not to do that, and dig us deeper into this mess.

You can outrun a cop but you can't outrun a ~~radio~~ extradition treaty.

404 really gunning for household name status. I hope they can sustain this level of effort, the space really needs journalism like this.

Yudkowsky is in fact the nimrod from less wrong. Currently doing a fedora'd chicken little podcast tour.

I don't think people should go to jail because they want to get high. But, separately, taking a pill, especially timed release, shouldn't be getting you high, and the people who need adhd meds to function I know certainly don't act like they're experiencing euphoria.
