His angle is social acceptance, but he’s… critically undersocialized.
Being critically undersocialized in not necessarily a problem at LW :-/
I think Gleb’s ambitions are broader. He wants to be the head of a large and successful charity. That would bring him a cornucopia of benefits, from social status to income.
And he is building a tower out of sticks and a runway out of mud so that the metal birds will come and bring treasure.
You do realize that I am a professor and have income, right? In fact, my wife and I are the largest donors to Intentional Insights, contributing about 88% of the 42K operating budget of the organization.
My ambition always has been to spread rationality to a broad audience. Intentional Insights is just an instrumental way to get to that goal. If I see a better way of doing it, I’ll abandon InIn and jump on that other opportunity :-)

Yes, I do. But I don’t think a state school pays a lot of money to assistant professors in humanities.
You know what you’ve spent with all that weaseling around and what you’re completely out of? Credibility.
