“Rationalists had considerable #openness to new experiences, but sometimes poor discipline or #judgment, and could embody the old joke about being so open-minded that one’s brain falls out […]”
“It goes without saying that the #AI-risk and #rationalist communities are not morally responsible for the #Zizians any more than any #movement is accountable for a deranged fringe.”
