The economic incentive is coming from the popularity of stir-fry.

Is this a correct characterisation of the EA community? That they all harbour anti-abortion sentiment but for whatever reason permit abortion?

I actually wouldn't be surprised if this were the case -- the whole schtick of a lot of these people is "worrying about increasing the number of future possibly-existing humans, even at the cost of the suffering of actually-existing humans", so being anti-abortion honestly seems not too far out of their wheelhouse?

Like I think in the EAverse you can just kinda go "well this makes people have less kids which means less QALYs therefore we all know it's obviously bad and I don't really need to justify it." (with bonus internet contrarian points if you are justifying some terrible thing using your abstract math, because that means you're Highly Decoupled and Very Smart.) See also the quote elsewhere in this thread about the guy defending child marriage for similar reasons.

I think he means script as in, literally a series of lines to say to your doctor to magically hack their brain into giving you the prescription you need (gee, I wonder how these people ever got into pickup artistry!), not a script as in prescription. I think it's not about cost, it's about doctors... prescribing you the wrong thing for some reason so you have to lie to them to get the correct medication? Is this some conspiracy theory I'm not aware of, lol

I mean they'll use an LLM instead of going to therapy too...

this is long and meandering on purpose

Well, at least they admit it.

I don't even get his point. You can voluntarily use your freedom to constrain yourself already. What, is the Food Optimizer gonna knock down your door and force-feed you McDonald's? Has vegetarianism become illegal? Clearly what he's actually mad about is that the state won't let him involuntarily constrain others

The whole "autogynephilia" thing has always kind of struck me as similar to the "you gotta stay constantly vigilant because the devil is constantly trying to tempt men into having gay sex" thing. Like, yeah, if you conceptualize it as pathological, you're gonna feel like there's something wrong with you. But it only feels weird when you're feeling it from the "wrong side," so to speak.

(later edit: it turns out maybe I don't actually know what autogynephilia is, so I might be confused...)

I think this blog got posted to sneerclub before though and yeah it's kinda too sad to make fun of. This post is a couple years old now but it looks like they're still blogging in this vein... I hope eventually they're able to come to terms with their true feelings.
