The fan cites an article by Kevin Roose which is gently skeptical of Yud. To paraphrase President Johnson, if Yud has lost the most credulous rube the *NYT *editorial board can find, he has lost DC.

-3 upvotes and 0 karma, but the article is absolutely right. If Eliezer wants to influence public discourse and policy on an international, he absolutely does need a respectable image (with maybe a touch of eccentricity in a harmless but allowable way). But apparently (what he thinks is) the literal end of the world isn’t enough to make him actually try for normie public image. Or maybe he has some galaxy brain plan about how looking like a weirdo actually helps his cause? If he does, I strongly suspect it is a rationalization.
