I thought we established that this is satire…

It was clearly inspired by [this tweet](https://twitter.com/vaguelyhumanoid/status/960262839687458816) (Brain Zone was already taken)
Quality sneer!
At first I thought this was just extremely cringe but real. But after reading the other posts I agree that this appears to be satire. [Poes law](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poe%27s_law) strikes again!

The other day, I was forced to break up with my girlfriend, Alice. We had an interesting but ultimately bittersweet conversation about our different needs. She had always told me that I should be honest with her, so I opened up about where I felt our relationship was going wrong. To do this, I needed to explain what men need from a relationship, and in turn, I would need to introduce her to some basic concepts within evolutionary psychology.

Apparently didn’t learn that lesson.

I thought I was reading a Clickhole article
I mean you kinda are
Does lesswrong allow parody posts too? I mean other than accidental parodies
everything they do is by definition self-parody, it's great
This man girlfriends.
Don't forget the [musical adaptation](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVG7X2xjg9I).

It took me longer than I’d like to admit to realize that was satire

Why would anyone want to be called “thinkonauts”?

Because they are heroics travellers on the ship rationalism looking for the golden book of thinking while ending the hydra of irrationality. It shows that the deep path of heroesm they are on is connected through the ages. It prob is just a funny name and a nice parody of the tendency of various parts of rationalism (and nrx) to use a lot of mythological and mystical concepts. (Moloch, kaballa, Cthulu's swimming direction in the political compas etc). Ow and also the weird tendency of far right groups the think of themselves as modern day spartans.

Slowly starving to death while I try to invent trigonometry with my extra-rational mind, so I can kill mammoths that aren’t moving along cardinal axes.

This is quality.
