I actually missed it myself. I had seen here face a few times, wasn't that interested so the suggestions went away, and later I heard about her going into the anti-woke stuff. (The most recent thing, her support of the 'war on science' book (no not MAGA, the wokes!) was funny in a 'read the room/news, endless screaming' way).

He was the 'race and IQ' guy on the slatestarcodex reddit. He posted A LOT about race and IQ. He also famously made it to the 'quality contributions' thread of that place. Describing his ideal world. A small quotation: (there is more, a lot more):

• Mandatory abortions of the congenitally ill.
• Corporal or capital punishment for adultery.
• Adultery as a civil crime.
• Mental illness/having mental health medication prescribed disqualifying voting.
• Lower tax rates across the board for more fertile people.
• Paid sterilisation (i.e., trading your fecundity for a basic income).
• National genotyping and IQ scoring as part of using any sort of public health subsidisation and education.
• Allowing insurers more room to discriminate on any quality they wish, including genotype, education, and IQ (i.e., no more disparate impact or genetic discrimination laws at all).

Nice guy, no issues, normal type of quality contribution.

"T*PornO is one of our most prolific and high quality contributors, and his eccentricities don't do anywhere remotely enough bad to overcome the good he does by being around here and posting." Salt the earth.

Wow TP0s (I think we prefer to not use his full name here, because of the slur) posting freq has dropped off a lot in the past years. At the same time as creamyitch (sorry, I don't know how to properly pronounce his name and Crémieux was made into the dutch CremeJeuk (jeuk = itch)) joined twitter. Odd coincidence.

Yeah and as follows are chronological and limited, it was somewhat recent. So soon the 'both sides of the iq question debate', with a lot of content from our big friend Emil.

E: i do wonder how much she was love bombed by far right people after her bad video

Also not shocked to learn that Sabine Hossenfelder is an AGI-bro (also, she follows Crémieux), and involved enough in this wider community to think she should give her 2 cents. (for those not in the know Sabine Hossenfelder made a video about trans kids (??? y tho??) and it wasn't that great (badly sources for one, or only sourced using one side on some subjects), so it got some pushback, and there was the predictable non-apology (also lowkey blaming your researchers for the video is very classy, esp when you then take no responsibility at all)).

'a bad person writes a callout post ...'

Ow no, they are going after tracingwoodgrains. ;) (E: ok, I this joke lands differently after reading this: "Crémieux seemed to understand this [this behavior is plagiarism] when former Harvard president Claudine Gay was accused of plagiarism.").

'Here is a ChatGPT legal analysis on ...'

Ow god all sides suck. (Also blog length tweets were a mistake, im not reading all that).

E: read part of the initial complaint

Beefing is a funny thing. Before we invented police and laws as courts, gossip was the only method human beings had to enforce the social compact.

What...

E2: Yes, if you steelman the above statement it makes sense, but that is stilly, you can make almost anything make sense if you steelman it long enough, pigs fly if you count falling as flying, liking romance novels is now a hardcore porn addiction (wonder why he picked her to go after), ignore peer review and blogging can be on the same level as academia. (Wait, I gotta think a bit more about that last one).

Damn, had missed somebody did an effort ~~post~~ series on all these problems. What I have read so far is pretty good.

I have joked before how people really into stoicism tend to be quite emotional and even a risky, as stoicism always seems to be aspirational and doesnt describe the stoic fans behaviour (a good example is the yter Sargon), but this might be a bit of an extreme example.

The link to the article here clearly says 'Whisker Squadron: Survivor' to me. But here, a steam link.

some weird pseudoscience justification for why it’s okay to hit your kids.

It is to me so weird how often this comes up. A big plot point in starship troopers (the book) was that due to not hitting kids (and a vague handwave at criminals but mostly kids) western democracies fell for example.

Now I wonder how the NRx with their pro corporal punishment stance (which iirc Scott liked) feel about hitting kids.

Im also annoyed at how much words are written about the Collins. Stop promoting these doofuses. (They have come up in sneerclub before) (Late edit: She said she was really unsettled by this interview on twitter Sorry to hear you stared into the abyss Jenny, and I didn't mean this as a personal attack towards you (not that you will read this but yeah))

E: a thing I was wondering about, with the pronatalist technofetishists, who say that both we will all die out by lack of births as old people starve, and who fetishize AGI and robot labour causing a post scarcity world, that seems contradictory, I wonder how the Rationalists deal with this contradiction.

What if I made the line thicc?

Sickos: Yes Ha Ha YES!

Is it my original ideas that are wrong? No I have just discovered a new degenerate race of humans.

Edit: A glorious sneer from twitter
