I wisely/unwisely made a foray into the parts of the internet where fanfiction is stored.

I have never laughed as hard in my life as when I inadvertently found some of this slash stuff that is probably not safe to list here.

I used to be somewhat addicted to dramatic readings of badfics... Normally not too graphic, but then you get utter terrors like the Link x Author Insert marriage fantasy.

Don't get me wrong I'm not clicking them. Cthulu is cake next to the madness that lies within these pages.

However, the next time someone asks me why God would flood the earth, I know what links to send them.

The person who wrote it works with or is connected to the charlatans at MIRI, confirming a law I've observed: take any reasonable idea and push it to extremes, then turn that into a movement, and you'll inevitably end up with strong-AI nutters, usually MIRI ones.

I think it's fairer to say you'll end up with zealots.  Usually explicitly religious, sometimes not.

"Strong-AI nutters" are very specific case of "going too far with with a reasonable idea".

I'd disagree. Religions aren't built on reasonable ideas pushed to extremes, generally speaking. Religious ideas are generally involved in and compromised by social and political events, even if some involve reasonable ideas. For example, ISIS is far less reasonable about gender equality than the Qur'an, because their society was tending that way, for reasons related to but going far beyond religion. Christian zealots don't push Christ's ideas to extremes, they justify capitalism then go and start crusades, because they were generally going to go fight the people in the middle east...

What I'm talking about are rich people who manage to escape things like social realities, then push their ideas as far as they can, often crossing the "insane zealot" line, then end up involved with MIRI.

It happened to Effective Altruists. It seems to have happened to a rationalist self-help group. I'm sure there are other examples.

Guys, quote pyramids break the forums. Especially all-star ones.

Though seriously, don't do them. That's a thirteen-stack right there.

Dear god. We weren't trying that hard even.

You goofs

It happened to Effective Altruists. It seems to have happened to a rationalist self-help group. I'm sure there are other examples.

There's nothing rationalist about Jordan Peterson except lip-service, his "guide" is excessively Abrahamic   He sounds like a Calvinist a lot of the time, he's so obsessed with the Old Testament God.
But I certainly don't mean that as a dig at any religion, just his shameless dishonesty.

As for religious extremists, I guess they just take the wrong parts to extremes, and I agree cultural or political factors are a major reason for that.
