NSFW The Bay Area Rationalist Community is basically just NXIVM for silicon valley nerds. A whistleblower has made allegations of rape, statutory rape, BDSM torture, blackmail, secret payouts, and coverups. (https://everythingtosaveit.how/case-study-cfar/)

Pseudophilosophy encourages confused, self-indulgent thinking and wastes our resources. The cure for pseudophilosophy is a philosophical education. More specifically, it is a matter of developing the kind of basic critical thinking skills that are taught to philosophy undergraduates.

You ever walk into a store only to find the owner making very loud farts into small vials, a row of which being aligned on the counter, pausing occasionally to take a whiff off one of them like poppers and laughing manically before trying to sell you one? Anyway here's Moldbug on, uh, HBD I guess? (https://graymirror.substack.com/p/if-a-lion-could-talk)

The recent Siskind substack is full of insane takes (beyond his "class analysis"): Republicans should wage culture war on experts and replace them with prediction markets. Clearly the correct insight based on the American covid experience: we need less expertise. (https://i.redd.it/vk6k2mzqiqj61.png)
