My perspective is a little different (from having met him), I think he genuinely believed a lot of what he said at one point at least … but you’re pretty much spot on in all the ways that matter, he’s a really bad person of the should probably be in jail for crimes kind.

The line between “actually believes $x” and “appears to actually believe $x” can be made heeeeeella fuzzy (and people in that space take advantage of that)

Curious about the latter half of your remarks. Is that opinion, or something grounded in other knowledge that isn’t widely known yet?

Good point with the line! Some of the best liars are good at pretending to themselves they believe something.

I don’t think its widely known, but it is known, (old sneeeclub posts about it somwhere) that he used to feed the people he was dating LSD and try to convince them they “depended” on him.

First time I met him, in a professional setting, he had his (at the time) wife kneeling at his feet wearing a collar.

Do I have hard proof he’s a criminal? Probably not, at least not without digging. Do I think he is? Almost certainly.

hold on, you can’t just write this paragraph and then continue on as if it’s not a whole damn thing

ah yes the first time I met yud he non-consensually involved me in his bondage play with his wife (which he somehow incorporated into a business meeting)

Hurling ordure at the TREACLES, especially those closely related to LessWrong.

AI-Industrial-Complex grift is fine as long as it sufficiently relates to the AI doom from the TREACLES. (Though TechTakes may be more suitable.)

This is sneer club, not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

[Especially don’t debate the race scientists, if any sneak in - we ban and delete them as unsuitable for the server.]
