#Eliezer Yudkowsky on his process of writing his recruitment tract “#Harry-Potter and the Methods of Rationality”
on 02026-09-01Chapter 39 of #Eliezer Yudkowsky’s recruitment tract “#Harry-Potter and the Methods of Rationality” ends with a quote that many of his followers have found especially inspirational, which is about #nihilism:
“There is no justice in the laws of Nature, Headmaster, no term for fairness in the equations of motion. The universe is neither evil, nor good, it simply does not care. The stars don’t care, or the Sun, or the sky. But they don’t have to! We care! There is light in the world, and it is us!”
Consequently Lighthaven’s Wi-Fi currently has the password “wearethelight”, and one of Mox's blackboards currently bears a joking graffito saying, “Labubu is the darkness”. #tourism
