If you're hiding a friend in your attic, and his mortal enemy comes to the door and asks if he's there, the *question* is a lie. They're really asking "can I come in and kill your friend?" "No" is a completely truthful answer to that question. A lot of life works like this.

Imagine a kid who keeps seeing e/acc everywhere, googles 'accelerationism', reads Deleuze and the CCRU, then comes back all excited to talk about it and the e/acc guys are like "what the hell is all that? we have no idea what you're talking about except for the amphetamines part"

@ThomasLemoine66 @sun0369 It's until there's a way of improving human intelligence to the point where people are smart enough to reliably see alignment bullets coming before they hit and correctly assess which ideas they have strong-enough reason to believe will work. I'd guess it's 10-20 IQ points above
