Here is the second episode of the Pluribus Podcast! Our guest is @RokoMijic, author of the infamous ‘Roko’s Basilisk’ thought experiment, and publisher at Heretical Update .In this episode we discuss:
* Roko’s exile from LessWrong, and the broader rationalist community for his literary chef-d'oeuvre
* Social media censorship (i.e, shawdowbanning, de-boosting, monetization) as a matter of information signaling, rather than pure content
* Cancel culture as a ‘paper clip maximizer’ that selects for docility, sterility, and compliance via every possible avenue
* Public decision-making, e.g., democracy, applied in the wrong contexts undermining group cohesion
* Technological tools to address cancellation, such as meta-clients that allow for stronger data self-ownership and curation
Give it a listen and a share!

Today, we are publishing our first episode of the Pluribus Podcast!
Our first guest is a good friend and sponsor, @extradeadjcb, who is the founder of exitgroup.us, and who writes the newsletter:Bennett's Phylactery.In this episode we discuss:
* The story of Dr. Bennett’s cancellation as a motivation for founding the EXIT group in terms of technical and social support.
* How and why a general “opposition to cancel culture” is not a coherent ethic by which groups can coordinate.
* The ongoing process of forming “decentralized network unions” around a One Commandment as per Balaji Srinivasan’s Network State.
* Different interactive mechanisms for creating and propagating a sustainable culture: both memetically – via art & literature – and genetically.
* Ways for projects like Pluribus and EXIT to work together, as well as the rate limitations on such projects being deployed at scale.
Enjoy!
