The Zizians are a strange group. An offshoot of the rationalist subculture, they took a leap and then some, leaping into a series of horrifying crimes across the USA. This is everything we know about the Zizians, and Jack "Ziz" LaSota, to date.

I Think this might be one of the most insane stories I've covered. Need the tinfoil hat, stat. What do you think about the Zizians?

People can really find others to join their cult when my friends can't even keep a D&D running for a month???

Imagine being in an “all powerful cult” and you still have a landlord 😂😂😂

So sad for Curtis Lind. Survived being stabbed and losing one eye only to be murdered 3 years later by the same people. RIP he seemed like a sweet grandpa.

If someone tells you the toaster talks to them, it’s not compassionate to say you can hear the toaster too.

That these cowards targeted a lot of elderly people shows how weak they are. I hope their karma come calling in prison.

Imagine living 80 years, surviving wars, sickness, operations, pandemic’s and so much more just to be attacked by people you were originally kind too. Some people we don’t deserve on this world.

You have to appreciate a cult that fancies itself rationalist at its core yet holds almost exclusively irrational ideas.

The irony of thinking you have a logical rational mind while simultaniously living in a complete delusion..

If someone fakes their death… DONT GIVE THEM A BAIL

These adult-shaped children thought they were playing The Matrix but really it was the Manson murders. I feel terrible for Curtis and his family.

Every member of that cult looked exactly as I had imagined.

You missed how Ziz was influenced by a major harry potter fanfic, methods of rationality

This entire story sounds like a super bad fanfiction written by a 11-year-old, and then people died.

The media here in Minnesota never mentions their cult name. They just say “a group of young, intelligent computer scientists,” which grates on me every time. There are WAY better adjectives for these people.

Those mugshots, man, they all have that distinctive expression most cult members do.

The amount of mental illness and red flags in this story is astounding. Some people simply need padded walls.

What ultimately happened to Curtis breaks my heart. He survived that horrendous attack at 80 years old, only to be murdered by them a couple years later. So sad. 😢

My Uncle was the one that caught them. (You can see on the right document at 39:53) That was a crazy night. He got a call about trespassing and went to investigate. Luckily he called for backup before confronting them. Im just happy he didnt get killed that night could've easily ended up another casualty.
