Unless there is some evidence that I didn’t turn up, it seems pretty clear the self-congratulatory narrative is a myth.
This is a cool write-up! I’m curious how much/if you Zvi’s COVID round-ups you take into account? I wasn’t around LessWrong during COVID, but, if I understand correctly, those played a large role in the information flow during that time.
Yeah! This is the series that I am referring to: https://www.lesswrong.com/s/rencyawwfr4rfwt5C.
As I understand it, Zvi was quite ahead of the curve with COVID and moved out of New York before others. I could be wrong, though.
