I have mixed feelings about this. Ultimately my hunch is that Making A Stand is somewhat a collective action problem and I don't see any mechanism for coordination among Grey Tribers, among other issueshttps://twitter.com/yashkaf/status/1273681454682312704 …

Martyrdom is probably especially valuable when (i) a martyr is broadly loved as an individual, and (ii) there is at least some sympathy for the group they represent unfortunately Grey Tribe is mostly made of constitutional curmudgeons and weirdos /I/ love this, but Peoria?

re public sympathies: to be fair you have to have a very high iq to understand rationalism i mean this unironically blog post that I have been meaning to write once I get that up involves intellectual movements and broader adoption

my hunch is that (i) whatever idea you have will not be broadly adopted unless it can be boiled down to a slogan that a -1sd person can shout (ii) the -1sd slogan will ultimately become the movements rallying cry so hammer that out early

what would this be for rationalism? would you even want people to adopt it? consider the decay involved in the translation of eg Schlick and the Vienna Circle to IFuckingLoveScience

maybe sometimes it's worth doing for the sake of having done it, not some broader goal, and the broader goal gets achieved providential and unpredictably

Coordinating the grey tribe is exactly what I'm trying to do. It also helps not to catastrophize and talk about dead martyrs. This is not Maoist China, it's a rumor of a NYTimes story.

In the 1980s my dad was publishing anti-Communist samizdat in Siberia. Back then the communist had guns and gulags, not Twitter. It was a gamble, but it paid off.
