I don’t think that applies to the sense of tribe that I mean. When you find your tribe, the sense of tribe that I mean, you will realise that leaving it is not really an option that you ever could have had. It is simply what you are. It is simply the group of people who want for the world the same thing that you want for the world.
It can take a long time to find that tribe and to recognise it. It isn’t lesswrong, it isn’t EA. It’s funny to think about how much of an ideological split there is between discounting neartermists and alignmentist longtermists, and how we can still be friends, if anyone started talking about why they’re different (and why they’re still friends) there would be a lot of discomfort, but for now we just act like it isn’t there.
