I see, so this is more about quitting LessWrong specifically and not about quitting Lightcone activities more generally?
Yeah, LessWrong is probably one of the best examples honestly, congrats! I think it’s probably still worth trying but of course I don’t have a good picture of what your opportunity and other costs are.

I think Lighthaven is also not particularly federalist! Other things we do a bit more. I think in general Lightcone is pretty deeply entwined with this whole ecosystem, which maybe doesn’t quite get federalism (I blame consequentialism).
(Also to be clear, I am using the word “federalism” to point to the thing in my post. I think it overlaps with the general meaning of “federalism”, but I am not at all confident of that. My knowledge of federalism the political philosophy is mostly downstream of reading the SEP entry on federalism)
