The deepest lesson of this saga:

"This article is a monument to how truly wrong one can get things and not have most people notice. Most rationalists, even. The modern rationalist movement used to be about finding truth. Somewhere along the way it became about getting a high-end finance job so you can redirect resources to buying malaria nets. I’m exaggerating, but not by much."

My god. It feels like exposing the Wizard of Oz ... You clearly have brought more ammunition to the table than Biden donated to Zelensky but I am flabbergasted about the sheer quantity of weak spots you've found. I wonder if Scott felt the same pressure I see on other substack writers, to publish too frequently.
