Rationalist:
Cthugha The Living Flame by Exploring Egregores – Rationalists as worshippers of an Eldritch Star God. Valuing knowledge and ideas above all else. Bonobos and transhumanists. Yudkowsky’s argument about distributed vs concentrated intellect. The AI box experiment. Nerds as the true extraverts. “What do you think the singularity will actually look like?” The site maps eight other Eldritch Gods to different philosophical dispositions.
Politics and Economics:
Moral Precepts And Suicide Pacts by Perfecting Dated Visions – “To be trusted to remain peaceful, you must be the kind of person who remains peaceful. And to be a peaceful person and earn the trust placed in you, you must be peaceful even when you have every right to fight. It’s the same with tolerance. If you want to shut up your argumentative opponents and vigorously retaliate when your opponents show signs of intolerance, you will not be trusted to be tolerant to others who are tolerant, even those who basically agree with you.” The constitution, World War 1, Nazis today.
