A string of killings has been linked to a group of self-proclaimed Rationlists. People will also get very animated by the heavy trans-identification within the group (e.g. predictably the NY Post who centre the story on this). But don’t be fooled. It’s just a case of Rationalism ascending as an ideology, as I keep pointing out. It’s also notable that Luigi Mangione claimed Rationalist beliefs and though unconnected to this group, the timing of these things seems to hint at some kind of velocity. Ideologies. Can’t escape ’em.
