    If it weren’t for the fact that many people in the ratspace are privileged, I’d feel sad for them. They are frogs in a well and crabs in a bucket. They exist in a solipsistic pit, thinking their worldview is built from pure logic and not their individual experience. This is all well-trodden ground- we know LW et al. is a cult. Such a strange and specific way to hamstring yourself, to self-lobotomise. Something something Plato’s cave, qualia, lobster social hierarchy reference.
