    I like “quantified charity subculture”, nice. can only imagine how much you were holding back when writing that

    also really liked the last fifth of the writeup - it’s an area that admittedly I’m biased to ito critique (on account of seeing it directly from my side of the world), but it’s one that I still think misses more mainstream recognition (for lack of a better term)

      I put in 2800 words, it expanded to 3000 words and then was brutally cut down to 2100 at copyedit stage - a FP book review is supposed to be 2000 words. So I’d said a bit more about EA. But yeah, FP is for centrists, so you have to sound nice. Though I linked Emile Torres in Truthdig, muwahaha.

        yeah fp is … yeah.

        I didn’t notice the links in the archived version (as in, nothing was obviously a link, formatting didn’t indicate any), but I guess there’s not necessarily much you can do about that. nice one on sneaking it through :>

          also now I’m deathly curious as to what was left on the cutting room floor

            mostly more ranting about Lewis, lol

            the editing didn’t actually hurt the message

            quite pleased they left in “the Crypto-Kingdom of Bitcointopia in Utah.”
