Micheal Vassar’s strategy for saving the world is horrifyingly counterproductive. Olivia’s is worse. A note before we start: A lot of the sources cited are people who ended up looking kinda insane. This is not a coincidence, it’s apparently an explicit strategy: Apply plausibly-deniable psychological pressure to anyone who might speak up until they crack and discredit themselves by sounding crazy or taking extreme and destructive actions.
