I read about that Zizian cult already in 2023/2024 in a transhumanist and rationalist related article, they have some ties with elizer yudkowskies "less wrong" cult, so no surprise. Their transness was mentioned there.
I can't find it anymore, I only get recent stuff if I add "Zizian" in my search, but those guys weren't a secret in that techno feudalist scene.
I'd seen that this hit the mainstream news.
Hmmm... "vegans" doesn't really seem like the right word for what ties them together. Conveniently left out of headlines though.
Yeah, there's burying the lede and then there's this, which is more like hog-tying the lede and tossing it in the trunk of a 1987 Chevy Malibu then shooting it all into orbit on a SpaceX rocket which will probably just blow the fuck up anyway.
I will say, though, that the pronouns are surprisingly easy to keep track of, since every single goddamned Ziziot is using the wrong one. 🙄
