    There are a couple 19th century ones that fit and didn’t go lethal. The New Motive Power guys would be the best match imo.

    The Bismarck Analysis crew were sneering at Sagan being a filthy peace activist so I would hazard that the era of ‘survivable nuclear war’ rides again.

    The whole space scene really depresses me now. The Musk cult and TESCREAL and more overt ideologies (I’ve seen claimed old time L5 people throw around ‘spiteful mutant’ and other stuff). The whole thing just seems to be going nasty.

    Astronomy thankfully is still chill.

    Theres a specific word for that phenomena I believe, I just can’t remember at the moment. It certainly is a thing with all the high control group cults, say ex-JW’s.

    Aella and company want to put GM bacteria in your mouth www.lanternbioworks.com

    “ We have unusually strong marketing connections; Vitalik approves of us; Aella is a marketing advisor on this project; SlateStarCodex is well aware of us. We are quite networked in the Effective Altruism space. We could plausibly get an Elon tweet. ” From the short investor spiel document. Also they want to just bypass the FDA?
