in retrospect maybe a memetic advantage i don't talk or think much about having is that i was AGI-pilled for long enough that i know what having a totalizing narrative about the most important thing feels like from the inside and i know what it feels like to step out of it

How did you step out of it? I currently can't see a way to escape the totalising narrative, would be helpful if AGI is not in fact an all-consuming subject

in more seriousness what actually did it for me was a bunch of stuff over time. repeated exposure to brilliant warm lovely people outside the rationalist ecosystem (circlers etc) helped. noticing how fucked up a bunch of people inside were helped. LSD helped. crying helped. etc
