A nonsensical parody of Lesswrong and the Bhagavad Gita

I don't know, I kind of liked it. Is it poking fun at how these loosely-allied movements (Bayesian rationalism, transhumanism, etc.) are actually quite been-there, done-that, in an intellectual history sense? Here's what I noticed in the poem...

- Eliezer Yudkowsky as singularity-prophet / writer of sacred texts - Claiming all sorts of famous people are allied with / inspired your movement, when in reality, they wouldn't have had any idea what you were on about (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appropriation_%28sociology%29) - Intellectual bias as original sin - Anticipating a new world order (millenarianist movement: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millenarianism) - The celebration of the lone genius(es) vs a society that doesn't understand (which is from 19th century romanticism, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Romanticism) - And of course, more specifically, Nietzsche's Übermensch (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%9Cbermensch), a possibly embarrassing idea to be caught in historical dialogue with

The more I overthink this poem-parody, the more I enjoy it. Thanks for posting.
