    The man probably went insane after psychedelic use, and I have never noticed @BasedBeffJezos to advocate for fixing the system by shooting individual executives. It’s a great shot at drawing a plausible-sounding connection; but I think it’s not valid criticism.

    wait I’m confused, to be a more effective TESCREAL am I not supposed to be microdosing psychedelics every day? you’re sending mixed signals here, yud (also lol @ the pure Ronald Reagan energy of going “yep obviously drugs just make you murderously insane” based on nothing but vibes and the need to find a scapegoat that isn’t the consequences of your own ideology)

      always think of this (which is just multiple kinds of amazing in the current day; that it keeps getting used as a sample in dance tracks is just even better)

      HQ sez the grift is pivoting back to puritanical virtue ethics, we need to have cleansing struggle memes ready by next week so we can hit it hard over the holidays. Did you not get the memo?

      So parts of his manifesto (which was short) was published, and it was pain that radicalized him, ah well a superpredictor like Yud can’t be right all the times. If only he had the image of a blade of grass that could have been a hint, sadly we did not.

      Spoiler for the image link.

      The image is a scan of a persons back with various medical rods in the back, which was part of the (ALLEGED) shooters twitter image before it got deleted. The blade of grass thing is a reference to an infamous story of Yud about how AGI could figure out another universes physics just by looking at a video frame of a blade of grass bending in the wind.
