My jaw dropped when I got to the screenshot of the tweets, and it took me about a minute and a few double checks before I was able to put it back in place.
The monastery section made me think of Marcus Aurelius, he is considered one of histories greatest leaders, and from the little I know about him, it seems justified. He also seems to be an example of someone who was both a “monk” and was on the throne. I’m not sure what to take away from this, but at least it suggests that it’s not impossible? (of course, there are quite a few differences between our world and Aurelius’ world).
What other examples are there of the rationalist community influencing things outside of it? Seems worthy of a wiki page / tag
