4·1 天前Jacob Coxon turns out to be solid EA all the way down, since his student days at Cambridge
his Goodreads is a fucking delight. You can tell he’s a rationalist because his top books are E. T. Jaynes and Scott Aaronson. He tried Mishima and couldn’t hack the distance, and I’m going to go so far as to say he didn’t read Mishima because he was looking for a good writer, but because he heard Mishima was a reactionary.
