Comoedia humana. I value articles which are reserved and accurate without too much partisan language or misleading insinuations. A RationalWiki article should not sound like a small-town newspaper from 1995, but it should skewer with sweet reason.

Articles I created

Articles I drafted

This space left blank

Articles I maintain

I update the pages on Eliezer Yudkowsky, Scott Alexander, EA, LessWrong when they say or do something especially daft in public

Categories I created

Topics to cover one day

  • Sam Altman
  • Nick Bostrom
  • Gwern Branwen
  • Caroline Ellison
  • Sabine Hossenfelder
  • Jane Street Capital, or just the EAs and rationalists who worked there
  • Sarah R. Constantin of "EA has a Lying Problem" https://srconstantin.github.io/2017/01/17/ea-has-a-lying-problem.html (a rare LessWonger with two degrees in math)
  • William MacAskill
  • Manifest (event in Berkeley)
  • Zvi Mowshowitz (also has an actual degree in math)
  • Patrick 'patio11' McKenzie, harmless small businessman who fell into bad company
  • Mercury, SoCal fintech startup whose blog promoted figures of interest to RW including Emmett Shear, Noor Siddiqui and Dwarkesh Patel (also crypto, so much crypto)
  • Dwarkesh Patel
  • Progress Studies, because the 19th century can only call not post a blog when it wants its Whig Theory back
  • Secular Solstice (and similar events in the Neo-Pagan movement in the SF Bay Area in the 20th century)
  • Space advocacy, seemingly scientific but often veers off into Libertarianism and pseudoscience like a SpaceX rocket failing to land
  • Vibecamp
  • Wordcels and shape rotators, because social media culture got even stupider and prone to dichotomies after the glory days of Tumblr
