further resolution: 1. Reporter reached out to a discord mod for comment 2. Tech reporter rather than culture which seems relatively good 3. Not certain to be a Proper hit piece but my bead is that in this time legibility is indistinguishable from threat

I was reached out to last week by Cade Metz, tech reporter at the New York Times. Before talking to him, I checked his page and was shocked to discover he actually writes about tech and not culture war. His archive speaks for itself:https://www.nytimes.com/by/cade-metz

Maybe we need to be more legible. Maybe the majority of people are neither racist nor insane, and are looking for someone to show the way. Maybe everyone should read Eliezer's police reboot ideas and Scott's posts on conflict vs. mistake instead of rats hiding in the sewers.

Seriously, almost everything wrong with the world right now is a result of cowardice and hypocrisy. Maybe we should fight it with some principled bravery instead? All that it takes for evil to triumph is for good people to hide and cower.
