I guess the actual concept might be so insane that there’s no way to write an article about it that makes sense and doesn’t use expletives

this is basically the problem. there was an article there already but it was based entirely on urbit's descriptions of itself, which were all cultist gibberish. I went searching and found literally every Wikipedia-quality source I could. Most of these were about the people, not the tech.

Scott Alexander Siskind, his blog SlateStarCodex and now AstralCodexTen are a pack of lesswrong rationalists and deeply on-topic for sneerclub, sadly, so you probably willl in future

Apparently Eliezer was bullied by a Harry Potter fan forum, to the point that some of the users set up a blog called “Methods of Rationality sucks”.

His reaction was where Sneerclub got its name
