I'm not sure if it's coincidental and ironic or entirely intended by you, but I found it funny that my introduction to this crowd was a literal fanfiction written by Eliezer Yudkowsky.
- timmytokyo 3y agoI don't want to speak for GP, but I doubt it's coincidental. Many if not most people's first exposure to "rationalism" was via Yudkowsky's Harry Potter fanfic. There's a pretty decent rundown of rationalism's history in Extropia's Children [1].
