In Atlanta I knew some rationalists who lived together, mostly because they were dating or friends. And lots who didn't (like myself). I've had roommates most of my adult life and we tend to have some similar cultural and political alignments. And I know non-rationalists who live in group houses.

I definitely dispute the "every rationalist is poly", but those who are good on them. And they've got a community together, cool. With "very worried about AI doom", yep apocalypticism is a broadly held cultural trait of modern America that takes on many different forms. bsky.app/profile/segy...

Everyone is polyamorous, everyone attends the same events, everyone lives in group homes together, everyone venerates the same few authors, and everyone is very worried about AI doom. They are all very contrarian together.

Of course there are religious apocalytic people, doomers about the climate, doomers about AI, QAnon-style doomers, investment doomers, political apocalypticists, etc. And right now likely MOST Americans fit into at least one of these categories! And some have stronger evidence than others.
