Anissimov did also alienate absolutely everyone in the rationalist *and* neoreactionary spheres along the way.
Even back in '09 I noticed he was acting erratic. At first he'd randomly delete mildly critical comments on *Accelerating Future*, then posts, then the blog itself would go up and down, until he just took down the blog in general. Which thinking about what happened with *More Right* and with neoreactionaries there's obviously a pattern there.

Her comment about Russia sure hasn’t aged well, and was actually pretty poorly informed to begin with. As I understand it, her claim against Zunger is that he was trying to use rationality to explain a highly irrational world. If everyone had that attitude, human civilization would still be in the stone age.

The Zunger posts that she links to are actually examining the various forms of bigotry that drove support for Trump, in an attempt to understand and counteract them. Rather than ally herself with Zunger and others who seek to protect the marginalized, she decided to rail against neoliberalism. How’s that working out?

yeah, the author is *way* off target fingering Zunger as one of these guys.
