it was a different EA org

a mere tumbledown cottage in a sleepy czech village!

(literally the news story calls it a "castle" in czech)

but let me correct myself: it's COMPLETELY WRONG to say that they blew millions in charitable donations of money stolen from FTX customers on buying a castle. they blew millions in charitable donations of money stolen from FTX customers on two castles

The Mismeasure Of Man is the obvious threat, given Yudkowsky felt it necessary to post why good rationalists should not read Gould.

I'm called a Nazi because I happily am proud of white culture. But every day I think fondly of the brown king Cyrus the Great who invented the first ever empire, and the Japanese icon Murasaki Shikibu who wrote the first novel ever. What if humans just loved each other? History teaches us that we have all been, and always will be - great

LW was always bad - it was hella race-scientist right from the start, for example. These days, with the rise of public fascism, they're much more willing to go mask-off neoreactionary.
