Oliver wrote an internal Lightcone Infrastructure memo that lists the top enemies of the Rationality movement. He saw fit to post his Enemies List to the site, because that’s a very normal thing to do.

no. 2 is a neoreactionary troll who ran a downvote bot in 2013-2014.

Emile Torres is only #3, sorry Emile some of us are just better at increasing existential risk

no. 4 is Ziz. I am officially considered worse than the literally murderous death cult.

what can i say some of us have just got it

LessWrong used to call themselves a “phyg” in the hope that the word “cult” would not show up in Google so much as being associated with them

      Also, were you ever actually “asked to leave” as such or did you just start to recognize the bullshit and show yourself out? Or did you, as seems to be the more common trail to sneerclub, drop offline for unrelated reasons and circle back some time later to realize you were no longer 15?

        I was never in fact asked to leave, I just left

        I posted twice after that, once to say it wasn’t me who first posted Roko’s basilisk to RationalWiki and once to suggest that organising a wikipedia shilling effort would not work out well for them

        EDIT: no wait I didn’t post about Roko’s basilisk? I just edited the wiki entry with the correct cite
