Blurb is a string of vaguely reactionary-trad-bronze-age larp tropes… aesthetics-first, sincerity, re-enchantment...
Where men can be real men, women can be real women, and small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri can be real small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri🍿

I’ll give it the benefit of doubt, but at this point I’m pretty much all-in on non-Thielean futures.

Pretty much. Anyone who thinks I’m wrong about everything and full of it should probably apply to this. Given that all my takes are basically shitposts rather than thoughtful and deeply considered, thus would be a bet against Shitpost Futures.

Update. Benefit of doubt suspended. Flipping the bozobit on this. If this is the canon, there’s not much room for ambiguity on where thus us headed.

The way I understand it, Praxis works kinda like let’s plant a flag, bring in the most exciting people, and see what emerges. Admission is mostly based on vibe. There’s no dogma or ideology that you need to subscribe to, and all the folks so far are super impressive.
