A year ago, a local Vermont reporter summarized the manifesto of Zajko the Zizian. She seemed to blame what went wrong on Rationalists + the government + Maximilian Snyder who is accused of killing their former landlord. She denied murdering her parents and wanted the world to know that she and her friends never called themselves Zizians.

A few details that remind us of the horrors we are skirting around. Imprimis: (The landlord’s friend Thomas) Young said he searched the property after the attack and found used surgical equipment, more than a dozen laptops, and expensive electronics stashed inside the cargo trucks where the alleged assailants lived, which were registered in Vermont. “It was actually very uncomfortable,” Young said about walking into the trucks. “You kinda wanted to put on a hazmat suit before going into it. It was really just creepy in the extreme.” II. (A Zizian’s lawyer) Stelzig raised specific concerns that Youngblut’s confidential medical records would be incorrectly opened as part of the case. “Our client was shot and is still receiving frequent medical treatment” in jail, she said, referring to injuries Youngblut sustained in the shootout. III. Ziz Lasota asked a rhetorical question about what might have happened to missing people who got too close to her: Did I drive them to suicide by whistling komm susser tod (sic)? Maybe they died in a series of experimental brain surgeries that I performed without anesthetic since that’s against my religion, in an improvised medical facility? (Evan Ratliff, Wired) Sneering has not felt adequate for a while but I don’t know what else to write.

Also a year ago, Maximilian Bentley Snyder the Zizian dictated a [1,500 word manifesto](https://archive.ph/GErgG) telling Yudkowsky to become a vegan. These have not been published because murder cult but three of the Zizians have issued statements leaving just Ziz, Youngblut, Suri Dao, and [Alexander Jeffrey Leatham](https://openvallejo.org/2025/03/12/how-a-california-math-genius-spiraled-into-zizian-ideology-and-violence/) alive but silent. Two died after attacking outsiders, and two took their own lives, so I count 11 known associates.
