If I have ever suggested otherwise, I apologize profusely for the infelicity of writing, and if it is possible to edit the text in question I will do so. He has shown no sympathy for and ative hostility to its most noxious beliefs. He repudiates the philosophy in explicit terms. So allow me to say with absolute explicitness: Eliezer Yudkowsky is not a neoreactionary.

Of course, he’s a white nationalist, and we know how good they are at intellectual honesty.Īll the same, it’s a serious enough concern that I want to address it, if only because it’s a concern Yudkowsky himself raised while news of the book was first flitting about the aether, and while there are some significant ways in which I do not respect Eliezer Yudkowsky, he seems a nice bloke, and I genuinely don’t want to cause him any distress. This weird theory mostly been pushed by a guy who blogs under the name nydwracu who’s active in both circles, which highlights the irony of the complaint(though he’s been pushing it on social media, not that blog) I’ve sent him a preview copy, so he can at least trash talk it honestly now.

And of being part of a communist propaganda campaign to this end. So, there’s been a line of complaint about Neoreaction a Basilisk (my new book, currently funding on Kickstarter) that accuses it of being an attempt to slander “rationalism,” and specifically Eliezer Yudkowsky, by linking them to neoreaction.
