Only six hours later am I realizing that today's essay ran to 2,300 words (~10 pages). Humbly, it's a good one. https://tinyurl.com/9kyy6c66

I do like a lot of rats/postrats/tpot ppl, the vast majority are just interesting/quirky online nerds (takes one to know one), but with these famous cases—it's not clear if the unhinged are attracted to EA infohazards or EA infohazards are making them unhinged.

Yeah, this is something I am working through. SBF was pretty clearly a sociopath apart from EA, for instance. But I do think these ideas attract and cater to people with narrow experience of the world, who find the idea of 'first principles' appealing because they're unused to real complexity and nuance.
