This could be a sex thing or maybe they want young blood for their blood transfusions. Maybe they saw Marx’s criticism that capitalists were akin to vampires, sucking the metaphorical blood out of the poor, and thought to themselves: he’s right, we should take their literal blood too.

It’s weird how secretive they’re being about the location. The website doesn’t say where it is, just that it’s an hour away (by boat? by plane?) from Singapore. There’s no actual photos, just AI mockups or whatever. You need to apply to find out the location apparently. No word on if they have actual buildings or tents or shacks or what.

Imagine if you wanted to go to a non-culty school and they were like “yeah, we’ll tell you what country our campus is in… once you apply!”

This reminds me of a story by somebody I knew who once was a libertarian once told me. He was into heavy metal, as a lot of people I know/knew are, and a libertarian so he was curious about NSBM, so he applied to go to one of those concerts and eventually he got a meeting point where they all gathered, and then they were bussed to the actual location of the concert (which was secret so kafka (our antifascist research group) couldn’t identify the location and do something about the fascists. Not many people I know really talk to this guy anymore (he has some ‘interesting’ opinions on borders now).

Anyway, mostly unrelated to the culty school, I was just reminded of this story of fascists doing reasonably good opsec. (And the failure of me and the metal community at large to not do something about this, can’t recall anybody (me included) to react to this enormous red flag in hindsight).

Yes, sorry, I forgot that this isn’t that common term.

Also note that there is quite a lot of edge and badness in the metal scene, and a lot of this wasn’t shunned/no-platformed nor criticized as hard as it should be (metal is not punk), so these bands must have been quite extreme for them to go to these kinds of measures.

Looking at the map of Singapore there are lots of islands around it (Singapore was probably chosen as a reference datum because libertarians like it and it’s a big transport hub). Most of the islands seem to be Indonesian territory.

I’m not an investigative journalist or anything, but I’d love to go undercover and expose wtf is going on here because I bet it’s way weirder than people imagine.

“totally not a cult” says leader of group that milks rubes for large sums of money to place them in isolated environs with extremely atypical lifestyle facilities

one moment you’re paying rent, the next moment you’re an “attendee”

zero mention of what kinds of infrastructure is available

And we have plenty of day passes for visitors.

day… passes… to summer brainwash camp. which I bet there will be an application process and “admin” for

Hurling ordure at the TREACLES, especially those closely related to LessWrong.

AI-Industrial-Complex grift is fine as long as it sufficiently relates to the AI doom from the TREACLES. (Though TechTakes may be more suitable.)

This is sneer club, not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.
