oh god what is this

I have a bad feeling these people are going to waltz into even more power.

Is it me or is there a big ex-evangelical presence in rationalism?

Theres a constant stream of groupies I’m afraid.

I spent a lot of time reading the nofap sex complaints forum (it was very educational) and it was hard not to notice.

The Ray Peat people also have a ‘turn me straight’ contingent.

Most nofap porn addicts btw are struggling with gay porn. The whole thing is a conversion therapy thing, and why churches are so big into it now.

Also I should point out claims around micro-dosing psychedelics are actually pretty sketch…and some of these people claim daily use of lsd - which is impossible (due to receptors getting flooded).

Not just Scientology; Peoples Temple, Aum, or Shining Path all apply too.

Edit: they also have more money and political influence at this point then the above. this isn’t good imo.
