I’m curious if you know anything significant about the deaths of Pasek and/or Fluttershy. I’m also not sure what you mean when you say Emma is accelerationist, given the term has multiple meanings.
I don’t know much more than is public, I think. Pasek’s ‘Decision Theory and Suicide’ post on their blog (deleted shortly after posting) came as a surprise to both me and Ziz; we (mostly Ziz) tried to talk her out of it through a logical rebuttal. We both thought Pasek was mostly doing better afterwards, until they stopped reading our messages, and we found out after a couple(?) weeks they had committed suicide, IIRC at/near their parents’ house in Poland (Pasek had told us they were visiting their parents). Ziz was actively working for Google in Mountain View at the time. I miss them, and wish I had known to recognize the situation as serious and/or known how to navigate it. I told Curt, while crying, about what had happened when I found out.
I can’t remember who, but Fluttershy had an online/Discord friend, and I heard from Ziz who heard from them that Fluttershy had video called them saying they were going to commit suicide right then, and had a shotgun(?) on camera, and I presume they committed suicide right then. My memory is old enough that I don’t know what was going on at the lot in Vallejo at the time, but I have no memory of Ziz or her truck leaving the lot around then, and she rarely did.

i heard that the reason fluttershy committed suicide was because the police impounded the truck they were living in with all their possessions.
