Just a quick comment from my side:
PLEASE JUST READ YUDKOWSKY'S SEQUENCES
This post has received a lot of downvotes so far with NO substantive counter arguments from you guys. Please don't be misled by your emotions and try to look beyond the surface layer. Substance >> Style
It looks to me you're falling prey to some trivial Russell Conjugation. Please reread the sequences and take the following to heart:
"the real secret to rationality is noticing when someone is saying something for reasons unrelated to its truthfulness, and then applying this to yourself"
I'm open to changing my stance, I just want to figure out the actual truth. Common guys, you're better than this
"Bullying has distinct negative connotation"
I mention the concept of Russell Conjugation multiple times in my article. Did you read it?
"Bullies have bad intentions"
Intentions don't matter, results do. That's why capitalism works
Hi Justin, I already read both the posts you linked there.
My desire for Truth is overwhelmingly strong, I would change my stance if anyone would present some actual counter-arguments that go beyond the surface level.
Will give longer rebuttal later, am currently on vacation in Spain 🤝
Thanks for linking, I love Worm
My very first Substack article ever! It outlines the rational case for Bullying. Would be grateful for some feedback.
The whole thing is written in a provocative style (inspired by TLP/Sadly Porn, The Walt Right, GLO, Curtis Yarvin...) meant to challenge mainstream views on the topic.
Very similar to Robin Handsome's argument: https://mason.gmu.edu/~rhanson/meat.html
Hi guys,
I was just at the network conference in Amsterdam and am super hyped about hosting another Rationality Meetup this year. There were lots of organizations at the conference that I can maybe get to provide us with some funding for food and stuff. Previously this year, I hosted an Astral Codex Ten meetup. About 10 people showed up and we just hung around the Stadtpark and talked, it was really nice but am looking to do something more fancy this time.
Is this group still active? Would anybody be up for a meetup in December?
This year's ACX Meetup everywhere in Vienna, Austria.
Location: Wiener Stadtpark at the Strauss Monument; will have an ACX Meetup sign – ///informal.courage.courage

Nothing. It's dead. Seems to be a grift at this point
