I’m gonna risk coming off too harsh and say this gaggle of meth microdosing ratfucks don’t deserve rehab, they deserve to rot in jail. Fuck them.

How do you find these things? How do you read these things? I’m starting to worry about your health David; such a continuous stream of highly concentrated horseshit can’t be good for you.
speaking in general: the tpot crowd are rabid about posting about their own shit, and will get alllll frazzled up the moment anything like this happens. and they have just-enough overlap with quite a few circles that if you happen to be connected to x/y/z it will readily cross your radar
but one can also keep an eye on them directly to see what they’re up to. and there is value in that too, despite the mental downpayment it requires
i’ve just realized - the endless prose is drug-fuelled. blog post part vii == i am doing drugs and cannot stop typing
“endless drug-fueled prose about drugs” is an entire, unfortunate subgenre of Rationalist authorship. it takes them a surprisingly long time (usually a couple years or so) to spiral out and stop posting, but the posts usually get even less coherent as they approach burnout
The story goes that Robert Louis Stevenson wrote the second draft of “Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde” in less than a week while buzzing on cocaine. The Rationalists just write obnoxious blog posts.
Oh. My. God.
I can only assume the vibes were rancid
