    Real EA thinking there. Using spurious logic to provide a rational-sounding explanation for doing something bad you wanted to do anyway.

    Honestly, they should just do fentanyl instead and put their full faith in AI happening faster and more meaningfully than it really is.

    One of the strongest predictors of the cohesion of a religious movement is costly signaling by which people give things up in a highly visible, credible way for the cause, or in a way that only makes sense if they believe in the cause. Deconversion is highly correlated with not witnessing these credible displays.

      but if there is no meaningful improvement then their lifes purpose is null so they couldnt possibly even consider that as an option. Thems going to get on early on the NEXT BIG THING and make MONEY!! And they have also committed so much is nothing left for them if they back out so might as well live in psychosisland completely.
