The local VP was in the group, and contributed (I believe without irony) SUPERINTELLIGENCE by Nick Bostrom, and — though he wanted to brag about hobnobbing with Bostrom & dozens of other rich white men on a private island — he didn't really get that this was pretty _bad_ science fiction
but he DID stop coming to the reading group after I called Bostrom's memetic hazard book "exponential-function fanfic in service of the status quo"
3/3
