this is borderline.

there's a point where we can argue that the US has shit standards for food safety. and there's arguing that chemicals names are scary.

plus, he's a bit of a weirdo with the Rocco's Basilisk and his weird harry potter fanfiction

i assure you, there is much weirder harry potter fanfiction out there. i once read a Hogwarts Castle/Giant Squid smut fic.

Also, pretty sure a fellow named Roko came up with the basilisk, not Yudkowsky.

the Roko's basilisk was from his forum, true, not directly his idea, but hes sort of related.

he is just a guy that sometimes, I hear wierd stuff and then I am not surprised hes involved in that.

That harry potter fan fic is weird, because instead of smut or shipping, it's like what if Harry Potter was a humanist philosoper instead if a normal child with magic powers.

Was that Harry Potter and the methods of rationality?

I read the first dozen or so chapters maybe 10 years ago, until I realized that the total number of chapters approaches infinity and it got pretty boring after some time.

yes, that chapter count was indeed impressive
