-_ reluctance to write a memoir
+X reluctance to write a memoir during 2019
+X pinging Ben about memoir reluctance
+X actually good criticism from Abram
_ let's recap / being put in a box
+_ "duly appreciated"
_ if he's reading this
-_ tie off reply to Xu
+_ tie off reply to Xu
+_ help from Jessica for "Unnatural Categories"
_ bridge to "Challenges"
-_ Christmas party 2019
-_ Anna vs. Michael
+_ Christmas party 2019 and state of Church leadership
+_ Anna vs. Michael factional conflict
+_ "fraud" as deception that moves resources
with internet available—
+_ woke filter bubble thinking, stopped talking to Michael when he went that way https://twitter.com/ESYudkowsky/status/1435619618052214787
+_ "praise Ba'al" language from "Rationalist Blogging"
+_ disclaimer on "Categories Were Made"
+_ update "Argue Politics" link to Sarah's static site
_ link simulacrum posts: Zvi (he has a category), Elizabeth, at least one more from Ben
+_ examples of snarky comments about "the rationalists"
_ Discord logs before Austin retreat
_ screenshot Rob's Facebook comment which I link
_ 13th century word meanings
far editing tier—
+_ I'm sure Eliezer Yudkowsky could think of some relevant differences
_ clarify why Michael thought Scott was "gaslighting" me, include "beeseech bowels of Christ"
_ conversation with Ben about physical injuries (this is important because it explains where the "cut my dick off rhetoric" came from)
_ address the "maybe it's good to be called names" point from "Hill" thread
_ explain "court ruling" earlier
_ 2019 Discord discourse with Alicorner
_ edit discussion of "anti-trans" side given that I later emphasize that "sides" shouldn't be a thing
+_ first appearance of "Caliphate"
_ the right way to explain how I'm respecting Yudkowsky's privacy
_ explain the adversarial pressure on privacy norms
_ first EY contact was asking for public clarification or "I am being silenced" (so Glomarizing over "unsatisfying response" or no response isn't leaking anything Yudkowksy cares about)

> Another reason people go to Hell? Malediction! An Asmodean priest was using that spell on children too! Pharasma apparently doesn't give a shit! At best, it might be a negative weight in Her utility function that She traded to the ancient gods of Evil for something else that She wanted. A tradeable medium-sized negative utility is not the same as Her _really giving a shit_.

+I furthermore claim that the following disjunction is true:
+
+> Either the quoted excerpt is a blatant lie on Scott's part because there are rules of rationality governing conceptual boundaries and Scott absolutely knows it, or
+> You have no grounds to criticize me for calling it a blatant lie, because there's no rule of rationality that says I shouldn't draw the category boundaries of "blatant lie" that way.

+there needs to be _some_ way for _someone_ to invest a _finite_ amount of effort to _correct the mistake_
