Wild story in Wired.

Soon the national and international media was flooding in, trying to understand who and what the “Zizians” were. A “trans vegan death cult”? An “offshoot of the rationalist movement”? An “antifascist cult”? Anarchists?

My framing: another cautionary tale of what happens when we sacrifice wisdom on the altar of intelligence.
