sometimes i think about telling the full story of my time with the rationalists and i despair because i have to start the story "once upon a time this guy wrote one of the most popular harry potter fanfics of all time to try to recruit people into his world-saving cult"

i'd have to explain what lesswrong is, what AI risk / AI safety is, what effective altruism is - okay fine, but that's all just setup, and people kinda know about all this stuff by now. to really get into the weeds i also have to explain what *circling* is 😩

I know you're despairing but fwiw I'd rather read your take on this than almost anyone else's

actually i was thinking it might be a lot more fun to just talk it out with someone on a podcast as opposed to trying to write it down. we'll see hmm

My only knowledge of rationalists is through TPOT, I'd be really interested in getting a deeper understanding of that community

I don’t think most people know all this stuff. A book would be interesting.
