ZMD: And i just, i’d like to tie that back to the way that less wrong moderators banned Said. I think you need to verbally acknowledge that.
CM: Got it.
ZMD: You keep saying that. You keep saying that while giving no indication that you’ve understood anything we’ve said.
CM: Right, right. I think we’re closer on this, we’re close on this.
MV: Zack, if I may. [to Cade] We are not the topic here. You are the topic. The far-left post-structural gestalt is the topic. This is not subtext. This is LLM text.
JT: Sorry I’m late --
ZMD: It’s ok. We were just discussing how recent moderator action has turned less wrong into a doomsday cult. Habryka needs to ~~bake an apology cake~~ promise to do better in the future.
JT: -- I was watching Ex Machina.
CM: “doomsday cult” [sic] more say more about that say “doomsday cult” again use that phrase again please on the record “doomsday cult” for the book the title say it
MV: Any child can see these things. You can’t explain them. You can’t explain anything to children.
JT: This has become political.
ZMD: No, it’s fair. I did say “doomsday cult”.
MV: All cults are ‘doomsday’. The whole concept of ‘doomsday’ only makes sense as a response to a response to a common knowledge misunderstanding of wrongheadedness. If you were walking around and there were only ordinary cults, you would never have to use the word ‘doomsday’. You would never invent that word. [to Cade] You must have seen this from within your own cult. You are categorically unable to understand anything I’m saying. You reject truth. How do you respond to these accusations?
