Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

Good God. Sometimes I wonder how small the population that understands all these references and knows all this deep lore and history is. How few people really understand the true nature of this bunch of people and how their ideas have ruined so much. When I go to conferences I get to have 4 hour conversations over beer with astrobiologists explaining how ideas from a blog in 2009 started showing up uncited in their literature 8 years later (when late undergrads who read a blog post start writing papers during their PhDs) and have since completely fucked whole subfields. They are flabbergasted at first, but then they see it, and see the damage done. So few people actually see this.
In the TESCREAL lore iceberg, "Aella Sankey chart" is above the waterline.

what ever happened to them anyway? Probably has tenure by now, hopefully?
As someone who has started guarding their internet anonymity jealously after a series of VERY weird events (which fortunately do not involve our 'friends') I remember this incident soooo much...
