There's no such thing as a "late bloomer" there are just those who finally stop listening to a backwards system and take matters into their own hands. You don't need permission to blossom.

Arguing about definitions is actually productive and awesome. What is wokeness? What is intelligence? Is Pluto a planet? We need more terminological debates, more often, in every knowledge domain

We all hurt people. We need to start teaching people how to repair. How to openly communicate during conflict, take responsibility, empathize, and apologize (if necessary) to come back together.

Hurt feelings, bruised egos & uncomfortable realities are bound to arise in close relationships - when genuine mutual respect underscores the acknowledgment of all the above, they can be tremendous growth opportunities that exist within the boundaries of emotional safety.

@michael_nielsen Rationalization + moral elitism

Is there a good word for the pattern whereby smart, well-intentioned people use their intelligence to construct arguments showing an action X is good for humanity, when really it's mostly good for them? (I don't mean in bad faith: indeed, the good faith case is more interesting)

I am creating a group chat of women who experienced abuse in EA/rat/AI circles, allies (men welcome!), disillusioned ex-EAs, some e/accs, and techno-progressives who still want to work in the space but want a healthy culture. Engage with this tweet and comment/DM to be added!
