Thinking about how one of the LessWrong weirdoes did some sort of analysis on one of the earlier generations of GPTs and determined that the ghost token at the centroid (concept in the middle of the conceptual space) was “penis”
Fascism is also a sexual regime according to Toscano. This is why they hate women and trans people so much. And this is why should you fail to reverse the transphobia rampant in the first world right now, fascism will win. This is not a hypothesis. It's a law of physics at this point

This is the first I ever heard Muhammad's success attributed to analytical thinking. I haven't read the Koran, so maybe there's something to it. Food for thought!
On the other hand, beliefs also spread fast by providing a self-serving narrative to a willing audience, much like LessWrong has done.

Vernor Vinge was a Singularity true believer but had developed a bunch of tricks to allow his stories to still involve plot and humans with agency. Echopraxia doesn't use any of them and as a result comes across a bit LessWrong-y.

For everyone who does not want to die, Nectome is having a sale. This company is, in my view, the most scientifically plausible cryonics company.

Epistemic status: sincere, honest
An important thought experiment to ponder is, how many children of Google employees would i be willing to see devoured by a giant condor so one transgender woman have a good day? How many (±2500) Lesswrong posters have the ontological value of one Black puppygirl?
