2009 LessWrong Meme Depicting Yudkowsky as Ascending Christ Resurfaces
DrTechlash · x · 2026-10-02
DrTechlash resurfaced a 2009 LessWrong meme in which user CannibalSmith depicted Eliezer Yudkowsky as an ascending Christ figure. Roko himself quipped in response: "My only question is: who gets to be Judas?"
The image comes in the context of @slatestarcodex comparing criticism of the rationalist community to early Christian persecution, adding another layer to the community's long-running tradition of self-deprecating humor.
