I would be moderately surprised if association with Effective Altruism was very much more predictive of sociopathy than association with Monero. Which isn't to say that either is so unforgiveably horrible, just that it's very funn

This is not replicating when I try it on various simulators. It's also 12 characters shorter. Let me guess: you ran this through an LLM, and have posted the resulting hallucination as an undisclaimed fact.
