I do like the lack of selfawareness here of the leader of the anti-Agipocalypse house.
Yeah, if you are a bit weird, and create a weird cause you will attract weird people.
Get that heresy out of here, pope or nope!
E: to be clear, im talking here about my own personal experience growing up catholic, not talking about all the different types of christianity. Im aware of a few of them, but not as huge on the details, I know they went to different primary schools. (The joys of being Dutch, look up 'verzuiling' (pillarisation iirc). Less a thing so now I think, I oddly experienced a vestige of it re primary school).
Yeah been a while since I was confirmed (or believed) but the free will part of that was considered important from what I remember. So not only being a decent person, but also the choice to believe in and act on the faith.
Unrelated, but it is odd how much I have been thinking back about all that the last few years, esp more so the last year. Lot of it is due to the US gov being really keep on getting excommunications back on the menu. (Note this doesn't make the church good in any way, like even if we ignore the coverup of the pedophilia, they went full anti trans recently).
I was not giving real advice on how to firebomb people. Hope that was clear.
On a different note, 'our god means you have no free will' is also quite opposed to what I got from Christianity.
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.
Considering that the idea of the singularity of AGI was the exponential function going straight up, I don't think this persons understands the problem. Lol, LMAO foomed the scorpion.
(Also that is some gross weird eugenics shit).
E: also isn't IQ a number that gets regraded every now and then with an common upper bound of 160? I know the whole post is more intended as vaguely eugenics aspirational but still.
Anyway, time to start the lucrative field of HighIQHuman safety research. What do we do if the eugenics superhumans goals don't align with humanity?
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.
Yeah, as somebody who actually thinks the Epistemic status stuff isnt a bad idea.
'look at how they massacred my boy'
