Found this because an article on Helen Toner popped up in my feed and I wanted to find out more, and boy did I find out more.

To be clear, it's because he played Edward Snowden in a movie. That's the conspiracy.
- Ah forgot to mention that, now it makes sense
  
  No it does not make sense.
Those are my facts. Now for my interpretation.
This is going to haunt me for a while.
- Dread it; run from it; my interpretation arrives all the same.
- paragraph before that is also special
  Either way, this means that the EAs on the board, who both presumably voted to oust Sam Altman as CEO, are adjacent to the US intelligence community, and/or its critics, many of whom are intelligence veterans anyway.
  
  All factual and counter-factual statements are evidence for my position. Heads I win, tails you lose.
- LOL. One board member is in the CIA "milieu" because of her college major, another has a husband who played Edward Snowden, and they both "presumably" voted to oust Sam Altman. With that kind of rock-solid fact pattern, you just know the reasoning is going to be airtight.
but you see, adderal is actually very safe for my exceptional ~~customers~~ patients and risk of paranoia is overblown
certain sfba shrink, possibly
- Is he still taking clients or did he go full into writing for cryptofascists full time?
  
  i have no idea, but why wouldn't he? psychiatrist career pays handsomely on its own, you don't need grift-centered superstructure
Makes sense
E: I recalled I noticed the 'Helen is CIA' thing before, and checked, different commenter.. Anyway im happy the CIA is taking this seriously, and im not just saying that because im a secret AIVD spy.
- I believe there's a normal progression for any cult where they are convinced that The Man is out to get them.
  
  This seems like abnormal paranoia even for LW, maybe they're getting worse. I really do they don't drive too many people nuts with anxiety :<. Fun as it is to poke at them, cults are depressing things.
  
  You would say that as an NSA member. ;)
  But jokes aside, while it is very unlikely it isn't totally impossible that some spooks are doing things. Iirc during the end of the 90's the AIVD was hacked and it was revealed that they had a few informants inside the Dutch hacker scene/universites, at least that is a store I heard. Of course an informant will not have 'works for CIA' on their resume.
