So the "dragon army" failed spectacularly, just as everyone expected. Anyone got the inside scoop on how bad it got?

Found a summary on https://www.lesserwrong.com/posts/o8LMHmX6m2MzzXnuP/rationality-feed-last-month-s-best-posts

>https://www.lesserwrong.com/posts/Mhaikukvt6N4YtwHF/dragon-army-retrospective - Dragon Army is a military inspired rationalist house. They recently completed a six month Phase One. The house did quote well relative to a normal rationalist house (B+ grade) but fell far short of its goals (D-). the biggest problems were caused by four problematic roles: Ghost who were not engaged enough, White Knights who held others to an unreasonable standard and felt betrayed, Red Knights who were too distrustful of the project and its leadership and Black Knights whose mindset was far too transactional. - by Duncan

Deleting shit like this is a bad sign for any community.

I'd also like to take a moment to say that I don't like LesserWrong.com at all. For no good reason it requires JavaScript to load the articles and has uglier URLs than the old website.

i read the post before it got taken down. it didn't fail quite as badly as i thought it would, but then we're only hearing about it from Duncan's perspective and there's no way he would admit 100% defeat when he could get away with claiming it was only like 90% defeat. there have been successful examples of intentional communities with hierarchy, but the main examples i'm familiar with are explicitly religious and i suspect part of their success is due to aspects of religious belief that rationalists are unwilling to adopt (if only instrumentally).

Sneerclub seems to have increased in quality since the last time I looked. I remembered it as a place where SA goons would try to be funny in their faggotty lowercase writing style.

From that link:

>To pick a pretty well-known example, which hopefully has not been discussed to death here, there was the guy who sexually assaulted or raped god knows how many people (I stopped counting after four, and he may have hurt others who never said anything in public). He only got called on being a sociopath after he stole rent money from his tenants and posted so much shit about how women signal their fertility on the CFAR mailing list that nobody could ignore him any longer. He got banned from CFAR events then, but he still posts on lw. And like, that sort of thing happening was really bread and butter: I wasn't surprised to hear about it at all.

Who was this?

I'm not active on /r/sneerclub but I visit it from time to time. I remember most of the attacks against ssc on the level of /r/badphilosophy, not inherently bad per se just made by smooth brain autists in a tiring manner who misunderstand the conventions arround the ssc/lw community and think they're the only ones who touched more than two philosophy books or have the capacity to read and understand them.

I'm actually on of the biggest critics of both jew rat duo and the cfar,ea,miri,whatever cultists but the community is varied and beautiful.

Why did they take it down? The comments seemed largely supportive.

I'm in favor of social experimentation like this, honestly. The left loves to go on about atomization and alienation, but as soon as a gray-triber decides to make an intentional community they fall over themselves to be the first to cry cult.

If this is true, it's funny how he actually says sensible things about committed relationships.

You are right on the Third Reich. However my ideology is *imposed* individualism and sciencism. Since the people are too deluded to free themselves we have to free them.

If I were a leader I would immediately start a campaign to combat unreason. SJWs, science-denying or medicine-denying Christian churches, Sharia-believing Muslim groups etc would be banned ASAP. At the same time I would clean up ghettos by force and make taking nootropics mandatory for low IQ people.

by Bay Area left wing standards (stared at some people's ass for too long, someone cheated on her boyfriend and needed an excuse), or /actually/ raped?
