_ "look at what ended up happening"—look up whether that exact quote from from http://www.hpmor.com/chapter/47 or https://www.hpmor.com/chapter/97

_ Discord logs before Austin retreat
_ examples of snarky comments about "the rationalists"

_ conversation with Ben about physical injuries (this is important because it explains where the "cut my dick off rhetoric" came from)

-_ first appearance of "Caliphate"

If Scott's willing to link to A. Marinos, maybe he'd link to my memoir, too? https://astralcodexten.substack.com/p/open-thread-242
My reaction to Marinos is probably similar to a lot of people's reaction to me: geez, putting in so much effort to correct Scott's mistake is lame, what a loser, who cares
