My experience at and around MIRI and CFAR (inspired by Zoe Curzi's writeup of experiences at Leverage)

Did you ever end up doing this? I think this is a good idea.

I find it rather strange to list "Audere Snyder" as his name on the wiki—"Audere" is an online username rather than something he was changing his name to, he still went by Max/Maximilian to his close friends (Source: i am his ex). It'd be kind of like listing my name as "ToasterLightning Nightingale", either "Audere" or "Maximilian Snyder" would work instead.

....I know someone named Chase Novinha? I don't think it's the same person, though.

Edit: Confirmed same person, slimepriestess has said they are "safe and accounted for," and are one of the cofounders of its alignment company.

Oh, I don't mean to derail it, I'm just saying that if I pull the lever and pull it back, I still pulled it, so Omega will make their choice based off of that.

Many of these are solveable via the strategy "pull the lever and then quickly pull it back"

Stupid Question: Why am I getting consistently downvoted?

Wow, I came here fully expecting this post to have been downvoted to oblivion, and then realized this was not reddit and the community would not collectively downvote your post as a joke

Yeah, that's a good point. I certainly don't claim that Michael is to blame for her actions.

the girl in question has publicly declared some of the psychological techniques she uses on people in order to induce altered states to be downstream of michael

Yeah I was initially going to dispute it and then I thought some more and realized it was probably correct.

...iirc you had LSD like a week or so before you had the cannabis? And you took the cannabis while fairly sleep deprived. And I definitely started getting worried about your mental state after the LSD, so even if you consider the psychotic break as starting a few days after taking cannabis I definitely think the psychedelics were a compounding factor.
