Have you heard about chaosprime?

I drafted a short post about the incident, since it's both relevant to the scene and provides information about how ethics in the scene are doing. However, I declined to post it, as the seriousness of the allegations was quite severe relative to my level of certainty about the allegations, and I didn't want to go digging to verify (especially as chaosprime has already deleted his Twitter account).

Twitter user chaosprime was associated with TPOT / the rationalist community on Twitter.

Apparently, there were allegations that he engaged in three instances of consensual at the time, but bad somehow, sex. (It was pretty vague.) Given members of the community's history with questionable accusations and norms of evidence from conflict with the feminist movement in the 2014 era, he could have weathered this.

However, during the arguments surrounding the accusations, some twitter users reportedly dug up his arrest and conviction history, showing that he was previously accused and convicted of sex crimes against multiple individuals, including a minor.

It appears that he agreed that he had been charged with all of those crimes, except for the specific dates.

Another user posted a screenshot of a tweet in which chaosprime apparently said that he 'didn't mean to brag,' but his sexual orientation was too taboo to discuss on Twitter.

At some point following this, he deleted his Twitter account.

TracingWoodgrains (tw: tracewoodgrains), probably better known from TheMotte, said,

I appreciate the thread and always appreciate pushes to humanize and show general compassion. I also think as a matter of policy someone who has a history of sex crimes should probably stay away from any sort of weird sex stuff from that point forward.

How do we assess whether someone has truly reformed, or whether they're the Type of Guy who still represents a risk? I think TracingWoodgrains' approach here is a good one.

(Chaosprime and I are of no relation. My Twitter account is q-----md------k, as shieldfoss can confirm.)

My Best Friend Died In A School Shooting

by ChaosPrimed

Everyone in my area has their thoughts centered on a single event that occurred just two days ago. An event that has brought many people to tears for the sheer horror of the situation; we all lost something that day. My best friend, Andrew, died in every parent's nightmare-a school shooting.

He sent me text messages as it started until the end of his life. I couldn't stop reading them over and over again, emotions overwhelming me in waves. I can't talk to anyone about this, not even my parents-this is a very personal matter. But I need to somehow let it out, and this reddit community is the only place I know I can reach out to. That's why I've decided to transcribe my dear friend's last words to me here, completely unaltered.

Andrew: 11:42 | hey dude we have a stupid surprise lockdown rn

11:42 | wish I were home sick like you lol

Me: 11:43 | rip they usually tell you about those drills. How longs it gonna last?

Andrew: 11:44 | idk but the teachers are being super bitchy about it like they think it's a real threat haha. They actually think their enthusiasm will make us care XD

Me: 11:45 | bruhh theyre always so annoying like that

11:50 | dont leave me on read respond already

Andrew: 11:52 | I don't think this is a drill. They're talking about an actual intruder and I think I heard gunshots

11:52 | Fuck

11:53 | One of the kids here said he came from the cafeteria where someone was shooting and kids were running around screaming

11:53 | Dude the girls in the classroom here with me are crying really loudly they won't shut up

Me: 11:55 | boi you playin

Andrew: 11:55 | No dude I'm fucking serious! I think this is actually real

11:57 | I hope the police come soon. A few people said they made calls

Me: 11:58 | andew i really hope your not just fucking around this isnt funny

12:07 | dude answer me

Andrew: 12:11 | Sorry I was just asking around if anyone knew how long it would take for them to arrive. They said the nearest station is like 45 mins away but theres like a fucking accident and a roadblock on the way

12:13 | I think im scared

Me: 12:14 | holy shit dude youre so screwed if your joking

Andrew: 12:14 | i'm not! I wouldn't joke about this sort of shit!

Me: 12:14 | oh god hang in there

12:15 | is there an exit door for you?

Andrew: 12:15 | No im in class 212

12:17 | If i jumped out the window i would break my legs since its on the second floor and be a sitting duck

12: 17 | The loudspeakers just came on and confirmed theres a shooter hes moved out of the cafeteria

Me: 12:18 | lets hope nothing happens to you...im scared

Andrew: 12:18 | How do you think i feel? Im fucking terrified!!!

12:19 | Sorry i shouldn't have snapped at you. I'm just kinda shaken up

Me: 12:20 | its alright be strong

12:21 | keep me updated okay? Ill worry if u suddenly stop talking to me...

Andrew: 12:25 | oh man hes moving around quickly from class to class I hope he skips mine

Me: 12:27 | do you have a god andrew?

Andrew: 12:27 | Wtf?

Me: 12:28 | No im just saying that if youre religious then you should pray for safety and deliverance

Andrew: 12:29 | Yeah that makes sense. The guy next to me is actually doing that rn

12:31 | So this is what fearing for life is like. My hands are so cold why would that be

12:32 | I dont want to die i always wanted to work for nasa i wanted ti be an austronat ehen i was a kid oh god fuck shit fucking hell man i cant i don't want to die

Me: 12:40 | just stay wherecyou are and dont try to escapecor you might get shot!

Andrew: 12:41 | I KNOW

12:43 | I SAW HIS SHADOW THROUGH THE WINDOW

Me: 12:44 | oh fuck!

12:44 | maybe if your quiet theb he wont notice

Andrew: 12:49 | HES KICKING THE DOOR

12:49 | YOURE MY BEST FRIEND REMEMBER ME

12:50 | TELL MY FAMILY I LOVE THEM

12:50 | THE DOOR OPENDED HES IN

The door gave way soon under my violent kicks. The sound of it smashing into the adjoining wall felt like a proper signal for my grand entrance as I stepped in and began to fill my fellow students with an onslaught of bullets. I saw my dear, best friend Andrew hit the 'send' button for his last message before gazing up at me in speechless disbelief.

in the modal case, it's because historically, aristocrats who could just order up whatever they wanted became very bored and hard to please, so acting bored and hard to please became a slow-extincting social status maintenance and aspiration strategy https://t.co/buZG4T9laC – https://twitter.com/chaosprime/status/1469865907648348161 – @chaosprime
