Indeed, although since this was before the internet, it didn't start any sort of movement.
That may not be the only reason that didn't get off the ground as a movement. Movements have existed before the internet.

I was at first confused by Eliezer's requests at the end of Ch. 119. I missed his Author's Notes, which his explains his rationale behind them. I thought I would share in case others missed it, especially because readers on LessWrong may have more elite or broader networks to help Eliezer achieve his new goals.
Eliezer has several other projects he might be interested in. Learn more by clicking the link.
