somewhere between Clubhouse, Hereticon, Burning Man, Vibecamp, rave culture, and San Francisco, my life briefly turned into a movie. then the social machinery, both ugly and beautiful underneath it became visible https://theasterisk.substack.com/p/a-normie-girl-in-rationalist-america

There’s a Dad on IG that posts about the crazy things kids say. He posted the Mother’s Day compilation… “Mom, I was going to send you flowers but the light turned green.”

wrote something about what happened after Anthropic's AI told me to kill myself, Rationalists / Vibecamp people as neo-Haight Ashbury hippies and how the sterile lights and walls of the Vancouver General Hospital ER are the most comforting experience I've ever had https://open.substack.com/pub/theasterisk/p/sometimes-kill-yourself?r=8qt9d&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

A day on crypto twitter as a /farcasther Since I’m clearly not a great man of history or even the current timeline, I realized it’s so over for me, so I did some introspection today. After deep philosophical research (by my AI agent summarizing twitter articles & threads) I learned that if I move to SF I can easily secure accommodation with a group of 1000 women within a man’s harem. And even better, I can easily land a position within a powerful network of great men eager to empower women into their private exclusive harem. All I need is a bunch of men’s approval and I’d be all set. But then I ran a quick self-audit and realized I don’t meet the required specs :( I’m not young, hot or childless. I’m also not optimizing for immortality as a long-term objective function. But my main flaw is the structural misalignment with the network that centralizes around a supreme leader node. So instead of committing to the full exitology playbook and achieving proximity to angel manvestors, I’ve pivoted back to farcaster. I have now reallocated all my resources toward raising crops instead of capital, eating tofu, wearing organic cotton, and continuing to build.
