Golly. I'm on part 2 and it sounds like they're about to invent Scientology.

> The full post goes into more depth and nuance, but it's worth stressing how heavily Leverage relied on “debugging,” based on Anders's “Connection Theory.” Debugging consisted of — to paraphrase and oversimplify — opening up one's psyche, history, self, and emotional core to maximum vulnerability, generally to one's hierarchical superior, and then doing all you could to follow their suggestions to “fix” your mind.

Thats nothing. Wait till Epstein enters the picture. https://fredwynne.medium.com/an-open-letter-to-vitalik-buter...

Any hoo - this stuff is the tip of the iceberg.

Incredible letter, I had no idea about the SWATing. Tbh the Epstein donation seems like a nothingburger compared to the other allegations in that letter.

Admittedly I don’t follow this rationalist thing on the internet at all, so I don’t know what’s going on with them. But that was hell of a read. I am no stranger to people being dicks, but still, that all is just sick.
This is all cult-like behavior, reminds me of the much documented Lyndon Larouche 'creative mentation' stuff, and pretty much any cult in their stage of grilling people to take down their preconceived notions. Now with this info, that's all I need to know about these characters.
