Most people would consider Robin Hanson to be disturbed. But not Tyler Cowen:

"Those of us who speak regularly with Robin know how brightly his star blazes. He's a truly original and important thinker in a way that few are, plus on analytic back and forth he is blindingly fast and accurate."

You can read a lot more about the abundance scam from my friend @katewillett.bsky.social here:

It's disturbing enough that Cowen, who teaches 18-year-old students Econ 103 at George Mason University, publicly offered advice about "finding virgins," but unfortunately, the post has a more disturbing background.

For those interested in learning more about the the TESCREAL bundle, I highly recommend the podcast Dystopia Now, hosted by @xriskology.bsky.social, who coined the term together with @timnitgebru.bsky.social, and @katewillett.bsky.social

@katewillett.bsky.social did excellent reporting showing how much Klein’s Abundance movement is aligned with the tech right, I think his take makes a lot more sense in that context
