    I'm going to take an even edgier position.

    He's already a Marxist, but doesn't realise he's accidentally reinventing Dialectical analysis in the slowest way possible while holding his fingers in his ears yelling "lalalalala I'm developing positivism actually!"

    I reckon he's going to basically write State and Revolution in 15 years but it'll be called something absurd like "The rational sword cuts only the rotten beams of the cathedral"

      :stalin-heart:

      You should write that! I know you've got the theory background, and you clearly know how to write in the rationalist lingo. You could write a rational!StateAndRev under a Definitely Not A Yudkowsky Alt pseudonym, post it on /r/rational, and convert a bunch of tech weirdoes to the cause.

        I could do it, but could I ever feel clean again?

        Edit: also, is this accelerationism?

          Alas. If only there was a Dirt_Mardoniush.

          also, is this accelerationism?

          Nah, this is a false flag. Accelerationism would be if you somehow increased the rate of the natural process by which the contradictions in the rationalist community manifests. Giving Yudkowsky a brick of cocaine, I guess.

            Honestly I think drugging him with Peyote for 3 weeks straight would do him a world of good.

              Would you characterize this plan as more of a road trip movie, or more of a heist movie?

              Relevantly, I'm a good driver and have some unpublished major advancements in AI that we could use as bait.

      His self insert fanfic character is clearly a maoist. When I asked about this people got upset.
