It even has drug induced brainwashing and coercive sex slavery, and it sees its inner circles (and the sufficiently devout) as gods in the making. This is full Thetan tear lunacy, but because totemic magic words like "SCIENCE" and "LOGIC" are slapped all over the outer walls, it hasn't gotten the same scrutiny.
These are people who are fascinated by their own brains, and they love love looooove writing gigantic brain dumps that make no sense, but that reinforce just how S-M-R-T they are in front of others. Thus, the "rationalist" label, as if the rest of us are irrational. They're society's best! We know because they told us so!
Vulgar, reactionary ideas that they dress up using sophisticated-sounding language to try to convince other people that they're brilliant. Real Jordan Peterson vibes.
:jordan-eboy-peterson: once said in his books that he wanted to brutally beat up a small child on the playground for acting disrespectful to him as an adult, but because he didn't, he expected praise and adulation for the bare minimum. It's like those redpill creeps that think "I will not rape you" is a good pitch while dating.
I don't trust anyone who doesn't swear and isn't willing to piss in the street.
They also have vivid violent fantasies of physically destroying the brains of their enemies in "thought experiments." It's such a weird fetishization.
