    I've linked about such things before, but there's an entire subsection of Silicon Valley's social structure that's designed around drugging and effectively reprogramming impressionable young women into asymmetrical sexual relationships with rich creepy men, often under the vague promise of money and access to the techbro boys' club.

      This is what happened to that Aella lady, right? Grew up in a religious cult, ended up in a secular cult as an adult?

        Yeah, and she wasn't the only one.

        Some never got out and just sort of carried all of the "math pet" brainworms and other creepy techbro indoctrination with them ever afterward.
