so we now have an invitation to do an episode of posting through it, which is a (really really good) podcast on the far right. we pick a topic, no other specifics. i am thinking this can be something to do with rationalists and the far right, probably something race sciencey.
SSC leaps to mind but im not sure that's where ill want to start for an audience that doesn't necessarily know anything about rats. any thoughts?
I think "probably-neurodivergent Jews with less sense than Isaac-frigging-Asimov about where 'what if we are the master race?'" leads" and "they say its about self-perfection for anyone, but actually its about finding special people preordained from birth for greatness" are relatable themes. There have been a few essays recently about people who saw where SoCal tech ideology was going in the 1990s like The Intolerable Hypocrisy of Cyberlibertarianism, another named a female writer for Wired or Byte who is mostly forgotten (Paulina Borsook?)
The overlap with ritual magic is also a deep dark pool and most people know someone purifying himself and issuing ritual incantations to a bot.
