I'm also kind of mad that you told everyone to lock down. It feels cowardly. It reminds me of times I felt deserted by rationalists when I needed help and support, and I hated it. I think rationalists need more loyalty and testosterone.

I get that. But, I am not retreating. I am furious and I have been burning through backchannels all day and thinking very hard about what kinds of asymmetric tactics are likely to be necessary and effective.

What I don't want to do is leave myself exposed while I'm still in the Orient phase and let some motherfucker like @itsbirdemic drop in and waste me before I know what hit me, because I will be much less useful to this cause if I am suddenly trying to figure out how to make rent

If you want another consequentialist argument, I think a lot of people today /by freaking out/ remembered that they love Scott and owe him so much of who they are, and started coming together around that shared affection and thinking about what they could do in concert.
