"We convinced the dumbest people in the country that our made-up problems were real, and now we have a sad because they took us seriously."

LOL from the comments

[...] "people having unreasonably high expectations for epistemics in published work" is definitely a cost of dealing with EAs!

The net downvotes are the rest of the community frantically whispering "FFS Roko keep our racism on the down-low!"

"Our critics are mocking us for spending all the mosquito-net money on a castle!"

"It's not a castle, it's a stately home, a manor house."

"Honey, I've met someone who fulfills the criteria we established when we started our relationship. They are 50% better than you".

No it does not make sense.
