#zizians — Public Fediverse posts

by the way, the forum that inspired this brainfart (called "Lesswrong") also inspired

#EffectiveAltruism

a #techbro grift talking point to swindle the rubes

and the #Zizians

a really strange murderous cult. like, an actual techbro cult that engaged in murder

so we're deep into fucked up #fascist techbro crackpottery here

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LessWrong

I am 90% sure we'll find out the #zizians are a #CIA constructed and run "group"

Every now and then someone brings up #EffectiveAltruism, #TESCREAL, #RokosBasilisk, #Rationalism, or some other #Musk related nonsense. I ridicule it, or laugh, and move on. The whole evil god of Roko's Basilisk is so silly it doesn't feel worth writing about. But people started a whole cult over it and killed a bunch of people.

Since then I've been meaning to actually spend time tearing it down. So I think it's time to go kill a god. Fortunately it involves making fun of Elon Musk specifically and all the #AI-pilled #TechBros more generally, so that's nice I guess.

Also, I make the argument that we're all in a simulation that only exists to torture Elon Musk.

AI doomsday cultist throws Molotov at Sam Altman’s house

https://web.brid.gy/r/https://pivot-to-ai.com/2026/04/13/ai-doomsday-cultist-throws-molotov-at-sam-altmans-house/

This doomer rhetoric from Hank Green's new pals comes at a real life cost.

At least one doomer cult active in the LessWrong forums, and a believer in the LessWrong rhetoric, ended in murder and suicide

“Rationalists had considerable #openness to new experiences, but sometimes poor discipline or #judgment, and could embody the old joke about being so open-minded that one’s brain falls out […]”

“It goes without saying that the #AI-risk and #rationalist communities are not morally responsible for the #Zizians any more than any #movement is accountable for a deranged fringe.”

Too earnest, and they went wrong.....

If you had let Trans kids be trans kids more people would probably be alive now. But no, you had to impose your will onto your child, your property, and this is how they ended up.

Oh yeah, Young People are not going to sit around and waste their lives away like older generations did, chasing this dream of Consumerist life that nobody really believes in anymore

Zizians, Luigi Mangione, young people don't want to live the life planned for them by Oligarchs.

"Woke Millennials Fight Back!"

The more I look at America today the more sympathy I have with this violent cult.

In killing the landlady, they're only doing what Americans did for generations previously in that settler colonial land, why the controversy?

"I want that, I'll kill for it, boom boom, it's mine now"

#USPOL #Zizians

Can't blame Millennials for checking out of this society and going rogue, what's in it for us now?

We should what our predecessors do, what the hell we want, see how they like it.

Should probably look beyond Harry Potter for ethnics though, have you seen it's author?

Am I the only one seeing parallels between the Zizians and the 1997 suicide cult "Heaven's Gate"? IT professionals, online community, self-castration.

It always ends up the same way, "I should do what I want, and I want to do cruel, weird shit to other people without their consent"
Yawn.
