Imagine being a skilled San Francisco-style tech worker, at the apex of your industry, and the heights of intellect and rigor you can scale outside of that very specific context turn out to be "race science" apologia. Probably a lesson in there somewhere.

Even just saying it was mescaline would help it make more sense.

I'm starting to think that some writing classes would really help the EA/LR crowd.

Is there some EA culture thing where every thought has to be expanded into essay form?

Last year, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., and Rep. Lloyd Doggett, D-Texas, came out against the effort by Próspera to exploit the dispute resolution system to undermine Honduran sovereignty. “In the case of Próspera,” they write, “a ZEDE located largely on the Honduran island of Roatán, investors have created a governing council where 44 percent of members are appointed by the private company and 22 percent are elected by landowners in a system where their number of votes is proportional to the size of their property.”

Why are they being described as crypto-libertarians when it turns out they are moving the electoral clock back two hundred years to before the abolishment of rotten boroughs? That's a significantly conservative political arrangement there.

Are we keeping a list of things that refute CEO worship? Here's an item for the list.

So pretty much like playing Hexen 2 on a P100 in 1997 huh.

More succinct: Nobody think of themselves as the zombie in the apocalypse.

(Assuming for the purposes of my post that this isn't just an updated instance of Poe's Law.)

Weird how these authors never think this through to the part where they're the scrawny whiners spending time posting annoying things on the internet, and the obvious targets of the people training for actual things (war, paramilitarism, martial arts, target shooting competitions, et cetera) to pick fights with so they have somebody to beat up.
