Great post! I think that the inability of the rationalist community to accept unpleasant blackpills is one of their biggest weaknesses.

I write a bit more about some of these blackpills in my own substack: perhaps you would be interested in taking a look at some point.

Good substack. I looked through your posts, I am impressed by your stuff on uncertainty. I agree that the the number one enemy of knowledge is not ignorance but false certainty.

You seem intelligent and right headed, and sadly this will work against you in the attention hierarchy. Most people suck, as you've discovered, and as such suckage positively correlates with popularity strongly. Kim Kardashian is more popular than John Stewart is more popular than Scott Alexander is more popular than you.
