I for one would rather Will found another forum for his obscurantist nonsense. It was cute two or three years ago, but now it's just cringe-worthy.

You need to work on your hyperbole. Calling moderators "great gods" just doesn't go far enough into absurdity for a decent rant. I feel like you're on the event horizon of a black hole, lacking the last bit of acceleration you need to pass through and reach the singularity (of the black hole, not of some other kind).

Honestly, if you're looking to become a martyr of censorship, you're going to need to write something worth censoring.

P.S.: "This site IS a cult. And I don't say this for the usual reasons." This is an outright lie. Getting verklempt over the censorship of Roko is an internet subculture past-time.

"LW needed better critics."

For what it's worth my fanfic was gonna draw a lot of inspiration from Worm and Pact. Wildbow at least explicitly puts forth metaphysics to partially explain the narrative causality. Maybe Eliezer will get around to it too when the mechanics of Prophecy are explained. His Finale of the Ultimate Meta Mega Crossover is great in that regard.

And that was the final piece of the puzzle in getting me to read Worm. Off I go!
