I really don't see a reason for us making a linguistic distinction between "low-brow bigotry" and "high-brow bigotry", which is essentially what this is in practice.

When my uncle drunkenly complains about how "those stupid immigrants are everywhere and they ain't even speaking our language" - it's racism; but when a guy with a university degree writes a treatsie about how immigrants will take over and that's a problem because his bayesian priors say they're statistically less intelligent - then it's suddenly "race pseudoscience". No, both of them are the same breed of racist, the only difference is the latter had enough money to attend Yale.

OpenBrain "responsibly" elects not to release its model publicly to avoid it being called "underwhelming" and, to use a technical term, "gobshite".

Artificial wombs may remove this bottleneck.

Okay but this is an amazing out-of-context sentence. I will croudfund a $1000 award for anyone who is able to put that sentence into a paper and get published in Nature without anyone noticing.

I think it forces us all to ask an important introspective question -- if I were to become the target of a national manhunt, would my posting history look cringe?

Ahhh you see, the physics of 2D waifus were actually covered on the seminar a year after he flunked out. Womp womp.

The orcas were trying to send us this message for a while now

Mosaic creator Marc Andreessen

Best thing about it is that a normie read of this would be to think Assdreessen is just a weird guy who's really into mosaics.

coherent liberalism must also oppose capitalism, and capitalism is inherently non-democratic

Yup, and I hate that "liberal" for most people means something completely different. I self-identify as a liberal, in the sense that, for example, a rentier class of landlords existing or that any human's existence being completely dependent on their job and income is inherently counter to liberal ideals.

I don't know when someone decided we'll mean something anti-liberal by the word "liberal" but they can go fuck themselves.

I don't think democracy is inherently liberal or not, and I don't think it really matters? This is a question of outcomes. No other political system has a history of consistently producing relatively free states (as in freedom for the people within the state). All other systems, be it oligarchies or dictatorships, even if they result in a short period of stability and freedom, almost universally deteriorate into authoritarian hellscapes over time. If we can come up with a system that is better at preventing oppressive regimes then we should rally behind it, but currently only democracy has a positive track record there.

2012? So where's the reporting of their success? 12 years is enough to literally finish med school and get a license, surely they achieved way more in that time with their massive rat ~~dongs~~ brains.

I assume possible memory usage also wasn’t that high

ye iirc we can remember like 7 things so that might be hard /s

What is the original requirement? I've never seen this and I feel a mighty sneer that I'm missing. A Fear of Sneering Out if you will.

at the distributed, Lorentz-invariant conspansion rate c, a time-space conversion factor already familiar as the speed of light in vacuo

You just said "at the speed of light", but while doing a backflip and taking a shit mid-air.
