Good God. Sometimes I wonder how small the population that understands all these references is. How few people really understand the true nature of this bunch of people and how their ideas have ruined so much. When I go to conferences I get to have 4 hour conversations over beer with astrobiologists explaining how ideas from a blog in 2009 started showing up uncited in their literature 8 years later and have since completely fucked whole subfields. They are flabbergasted at first, but then they see it, and see the damage done. So few people actually see this.

@fullsquare@awful.systems How many angels can dance on the head of a pin? I dunno, but AI machine god will figure it out from first principles in a nanosecond once we turn it on!
