The whole rationalist movement is super bizarre to the "normies".

It's not at all surprising that they are increasingly getting labeled a cult (they aren't by traditional definition but there are a lot similarities). I'm really surprised it hasn't hit the mainstream yet given the connections to Elon, Thiel, frontier labs, dark crypto funding, FTX/SBF, some suicides and some murders. It's all a little nuts.

Meanwhile you got all the anti-democratic NRx people on the other side of it.

I suspect this new doc coming out on HBO will spark a media frenzy.
