looks like our sneer comrade DisneylandDiplomat (disney6830 on discord), who did the Thinkateria rationalist-parody blog, died in Oct 2022. From Reddit Sneerclub:

Hello, I am writing since I saw this sub is a bit active again. I am wondering if anyone remembers the blog “thinkateria” or the reddit user DisneylandDiplomat who often posted links to promote it here. he was my little brother and he killed himself in October of 2022, after deleting the blog, and I only saw his reddit activity afterwards. I think it was satirical writing making fun of these other bloggers discussed here. He was very private and this sub is really the only insight into his state of mind at that time that I have. There’s no point to this post except I feel a need to share that he is gone and this is the only place I know he had any connections with. It must have been hard for everyone who talked about this so early on.

Peter Kyle is an excellent speaker but has rotated through 1000 portfolios and can be assumed to have zero subject area knowledge, or negative in the case of tech

correction - they won a key ruling that means they won most of the case

 

this is very self-serving ass covering from the rationalist sphere

there's a glaring hole in it: what precisely the break was between Ziz and her friends and the rest of the rationals. this isn't detailed.
