| is dying really so bad compared to admitting that you were wrong and some weirdo was right? for many people the answer seems to be: not really. |

| Yes. Their core belief system is morally abhorrent. |

| Yes. Sam Bankman Fried was/is an EA/rationalist (on the short list of biggest fraudsters in American history). So are the Zizian's (a murder cult). etc. etc. |

| ▲ | Viliam1234 2 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | SBF maybe, but Ziz declared rationalists to be their main enemy | | |
| ▲ | shimman 2 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Yeah, similar to like how southern baptists declared evangelicals to be their enemy too for not being fanatical enough. Death cults are weird like that. | |
| ▲ | jplusequalt 2 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | And? The Bolsheviks and the Mensheviks were both socialist factions who were coming from the same intellectual milieu, and they killed each other. | | |
| ▲ | Viliam1234 21 minutes ago | parent [-] | | They also killed lots of unrelated people. Let's not take the argument far enough to claim that everyone who was ever killed by socialists must have been a socialist, too. Perhaps the author of the article is a rationalist, too. He certainly knows too much about them, cares too much, and the fact that he criticizes them only shows that there is some infighting among them. |
