A few months ago, a friend told me about a meetup he had run across for people involved with a blog called "Astral Codex Ten," centered around a writer named Scott Alexander, who had written a serialized novel called #UNSONG. (cont'd)

"It took all the way until the turn of the Millennium before America listened to a Bush, and then got stuck wandering in a desert without an exit strategy."

"There was no shortage of people willing to do righteous things, not now. Soon a persecution was on whose deranged fervour made the Salem Witch Trials look like the ACLU. The combination of many well-meaning but unexperienced people trying to do good, and set up charities, plus a giant witch hunt for people trying to fake doing good and fake charities, went exactly as well as you might expect. Vigilante justice was served.
