Point 22 is a special case of the general point that one should build an online presence. The particular optimal website varies over time and depends on the type of discourse that matches one's strengths and interests: it could be Twitter, Substack, Wikipedia (!), or a combination thereof. What does not change is that the most interesting people live on the Internet, and contributing online content puts out breadcrumbs for them to find you.

I don't think there even is a "game" for us my friend.

Just join a party (either center-right or far-right) and rise through the ranks while not becoming retarded. That's the only path I can think of.

Its both an institutional and intellectual drought there. What even is the value proposition, the motivation behind doing all of that? Sounds like a chore. Why join a party if its so many retards inside? Its the Oscar Wilde problem of being party of a club that wants you as a member. Being a normal person or a tropical warlord are other paths clearly not discussed here

Is the healthcare stuff as nightmarish as it is let on? Like paying 20k for a broken leg, etc. Or is it cap.

Wow excellent read. I, as a young zoomer, have heeded your insightful advice. When I saw that you recommended more cold emails, I punched straight through my wall to reach my keyboard and email Robin Hanson. May Allah look after you and keep you safe!

Great reminder that our movement is unfortunately ran by a homosexual, transhumanist, defense contractor and to get anywhere you have to be in lock step with him. So cool!
