Scientology vibes. A lot of the EA and "rationalist" stuff gives me Hubbard vibes, especially around the wackier edges. Maybe a little hint of Lyndon LaRouche vibes too. I recall as far back as 2012-2015 just not vibing with this whole current of human thought. Something "off" about it, not to mention a lot of it feeling like castles in the sky that self-justify. It reminds me of the new age in one important respect: it's superficially very saccharine but has an ugly underbelly. I'm also very put off by intellectual edgelording, which is when people intentionally adopt "outlier" positions and try to justify them as articulately as possible to show off how smart and unique they are. That seems to be the standard "flex" in the rationalist scene. But yeah this is full-on Scientology "Sea Org." I wonder what other "useful things" you can do with a sovereign country?
