@Soyweiser He’s also oddly reluctant to disclose in his polemic that his ongoing association with Oxford is as a research fellow at the tiny Blackfriars Hall, which is a combination Dominican friary and heavily Catholic college. Not wholly out of the question that the post is funded by, you know, “a group of concerned individuals”.

He also went on a ‘why I changed my mind on abortion’ video. ‘changed your mind’ sure buddy. I’d hope at least that his association with friars makes it very unlikely he actually pipebombs anything, he also didn’t seem (in looking at his socials for like 5 minutes) to be the stochastic terrorism promoter type.

Pipebombs are more of an evangelical thing. Catholics prefer to use legal evil to block abortion access.

Tradcaths gonna tradcath, but it’s interesting he feels he can reach the EA audience with his views.

Tradcathery has the fascist hallmark of being an obviously modern/modernist ideology that claims to be an ancient religious tradition. Tradcathery as we know it today is very online. EA is also very online, and increasingly sour about social liberalism. Match made in hell.

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.]
