I can’t speak for others but I’ve come to see the Less Wrong / hardline rationalist crowd as having had some interesting ideas despite the Sam Bankman Fried of it all. Rationalwiki can be rather snarky, but can be a good resource.

… You had me until the end. Nobody owes any allegiance to race.
You’re good, my references are just aging out
Little mf has to return some video tapes 🤣
It’s really that bad
There’s an argument to be made for both Repulsor and Favourable Beginnings.
He didn’t accept them when he won either so the joke doesn’t really track.
Believe might be a strong word. He probably just says things like this to drown out the suffocated, croaking voice of his conscience
It’s the Nuremturd defense. “I was just followink LibsofTikTok”.

I haven’t been able to play it entirely blind, which is a flaw, but it has led me to view this gameplay more as a form of authorship. You save scum and you try again because that’s not the story you’re trying to tell. I don’t save scum games that are less storylike, because the game is traditionally the gameplay. With tabletop RPGs, the story is the game. This is an interesting middle ground.
It’s fascists. Fascists are your true enemy.
I was content to damn them with faint praise and save everyone the hassle. EY is a reasonably good writer who repackaged a lot of good ideas (Kahneman et al) and came up with a lot of less impressive original ideas (all the parts you’ve highlighted, many more). His most enjoyable work was fiction.
