Since Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality is apparently still a thing, I figured I’d spend a few minutes before fediverse monster-movie night to collect relevant links:

And a question dug up from one of those old threads: OK, so, Yud poured a lot of himself into writing HPMoR. It took time, he obviously believed he was doing something important — and he was writing autobiography, in big ways and small. This leads me to wonder: Has he said anything about Rowling, you know, turning out to be a garbage human?

    I hadn’t read HPRick and Morty, so thanks for that!

    Lots of gems about wizard fascism. I liked this part:

    “It means, oh golly oh gee, that uh, one day science will discover space travel and cryogenics and then we’ll all be, uh, immortal space gods with our own private stars, Professor!”

    Harry hated how inarticulate he sometimes sounded outside of his own internal monologues, which were much more elaborate. One of these days he would have to sit down and write down his internal monologues in a coherent sequence.
