So much gold in the comments.

… tone down the extent to which we broadcast the the unorthodox aspects of the culture which aren’t directly linked to AI safety. don’t be too eager to discuss stuff like polyamory/meditation/board games/drugs/meal replacement/overt analysis of social status+signalling games etc.

Confiscatory taxation should be preferable to guillotines.

After concluding the same thing, I scrolled through the whole thing out of a sick sense of curiosity just to see how long it ended up being. IIt must have taken me 30 seconds just to use my touchpad to scroll to the bottom (including the pages of footnotes). These people are beyond parody.
