“The Chinese Communist Party, once famous for pillaging from the natural world, has set to protecting parts of it. But the country’s “eco-authoritarian” approach deserves scrutiny”
“Yes, China is saving the environment while we in the West continue to destroy it, but at what cost?!”
At this point I think we read different books.
maybe we dwelled in different circles years ago but i know TESCREAL and i know my roko’s basilisks from my… basilisks.

(i did double-check and yes it is the same man responsible for that and the book, how do you think he feels about the us adding months or years to the singularity by embargoing perfectly good datacenter equipment because it’s chinese?)
i wouldn’t be the only survivor of that cult but i and the coiner of “tescreal” are outliers. there are several neo-nazi voices in that subculture and they all get blind eyes from the rest, crusading against cluster headaches as the worst evil of all, trying to discourage “autogynephiles” of transitioning lionizing “high iq individuals” it just goes on and on before you get to “benevolent world exploders”
