          Nope, this is what happens when you allow san Francisco tech bros try to recreate the enlightenment era. Some keywords are rationalists, Yud… Something (look up Harry Potter and the methods of rationality, that author) and star slated codex. Fun rabbit hole, fell half into the fiction some of them made as a teen, its pretty amusing, but becoming a black cultist is hard since being anti-black is tenet of cults. It’s a whole massive rabbithole that built up into the zizians who then fractured off into their own super cult.

          This is homegrown American brainworms, no more the feds than .world doing cold war propaganda for free.

            That picture of Ziz gave me whiplash. She looks SHOCKINGLY similar to me. I have a slightly pointier jawline and that is about it.

            Wonder if they had any connection to that Tyler guy, that would make a LOT of sense.

              Hey, she’s one hell of an organizer 🤷🏾‍♂️. The point of philosophy is to change it but brainworms philosophy.

              Oh the rokos basilisk thing that went around years ago is also related to the rationalists. If standard Americana creates good brainworms, rationalists create the gourmet shit.
