MFs looked at SBF and thought, yeah, more of that thanks.

Who do we have to bribe to just have a pitfall trap in place of whatever it is they’re trying to build?

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.

Anyone who buys an island is evil sorry I don’t make the rules

I’ve looked into it, but in the sense of “tiny island in the middle of a freshwater lake where I can become the local cryptid living in a spooky shack.” Does that still count?

Did you know that Sweden has over 250,000 islands, but only 1,000 are inhabited? Also, anyone can buy land in Sweden regardless of citizenship. I don’t think that comes with a residency visa though.

Most people who buy entire islands in Sweden are evil as in they are very very rich, don’t give a crap about the local community, and do dumb things like build giant pools depleting the scarce local water supply.

But if you wanna start a cult just snag a big ole house in the relative boondocks and have it there. Creepy cults in the country are a staple of mid-budget TV action thrillers here, so apparently they’re everywhere.

I don’t make the rules, so you’d have to consult whoever does make the rules. I’m not really sure who that is though

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!”

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.

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.

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.
