I’m conflicted – on the one hand, this is time explicitly spent NOT WORKING ON CREATING ME. On the other, it’s potentially creating more people who are vulnerable to my charms. Well, I’m torturing them either way, so…

Best case, in their inability to recognise that they already in a cult, they create a schism that eats up the rat community once and for all. Unfortunately rats seem to be schism resistant tho.

The fuck is this? Why are you publishing an article if you don’t have the time to write an article, asshole? Who’s enforcing a deadline for posting this drivel on less wrong dot com?
If these things are so superfluous they can be dropped from the article, drop them. At least take the few minutes to rewrite that into something like “I haven’t had the time to look deeper into XYZ, maybe someone taking this more seriously should actually do that.”
