[ExI] Series of blog posts on this email list, origins of Bitcoin, problems with Yudkowki, effective altruism, and more

Looks like the Cathedral just noticed the Singularity, and they don't seem

They're trying to get right to the root of the thing: i.e. us.

We seem to be transitioning from stage 2 to stage 3 of "First they ignore
you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win."

Interesting times.
