I don’t actually know any of you that I’m aware of, and don’t think I’ve met or spent significant time with any of you irl or even in DMs. The labels are fine for locating each other on social media maps. But the legit scene seems to be about 10 of you across Seattle and SF.

I’m not. Seems like there’s a handful of you that do know each other socially from college or cohabitation and do meetups and parties. Afaict there’s an actual group beneath the running joke that it’s just a label. Might have been true when Sarah was calling it UST. Not true now.

That’s all it takes. Even less. And it’s fine… it’s being human and connecting. I’ve done it too. Both the good and bad of any kind of connecting start with even the first weak connection. It just annoys me when people want to enjoy the good and pretend the bad doesn’t exist.

Sigh. The point is you guys visibly occupy an idea space in a claiming-turf rivalrous way, just as rationalists do. That creates a cost for others to exist in the space whether or not they want to join your specific party. A ‘postrat’ tax.
