+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
-_ "duly appreciated"
+_ help from Jessica for "Unnatural Categories"
_ bridge to "Challenges"
_ 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
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)
> 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_
