Every day I will repeat to myself: Any time you see a \u201cch\u201d in a word you haven\u2019t heard someone pronounce IRL, it is ALWAYS pronounced like a hard \u2018k\u2019. Grrrrr.<\/p>\n
I wasn\u2019t sure about doing Religion\u2019s Claim To Be Non-Disprovable. Religion isn\u2019t really a big deal in Rationalist circles, it\u2019s basically a solved problem and no one much bothers with it anymore. Why resurrect it now? Well, I still love the Story Of The First Experiment In History. Massive fun! :) But more to the point, as Scott Alexander wrote<\/a>, \u201cI re-read the Sequences\u201d, they tell me, \u201cand everything in them seems so obvious. But I have this intense memory of considering them revelatory at the time.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0I also find this to be the case. And I have a memory of this post being awesome when I read it, so I will trust that this continues to be the case for first-time readers\/listeners.<\/p>\n An Alien God is, of course, a foundational classic. Azathoth has become standard terminology, it\u2019s been expanded on over the years, and the original post still sends shivers down my spine. I hope I did it justice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Every day I will repeat to myself: Any time you see a \u201cch\u201d in a word you haven\u2019t heard someone pronounce IRL, it is ALWAYS pronounced like a hard \u2018k\u2019.
