Such a good post. LWers are either incapable of critical thought or self scrutiny, or are unwilling and think verbal diarrhea is a better choice.

10^27 future lives

Ok here’s my Rat fermi-time traveller party paradox, in short, the Rat FTTP paradox.

  1. According to Rat doctrine, many worlds is true and science is amazing and will solve all problems eventually.
  2. Lack of time travel is a problem, meaning in some world, eventually there will be time travel, by 1.
  3. Lack of 10^27 people is a problem*, so we will also have that, also by 1.

The paradox: If time travel is so easy and there will be so many future lives, where are all the future rats?

No seriously, where are they? This FTTP orgy was supposed to start 24 hours ago.

IQ might be discredited, “g” is valid.

It also has "MBTI is pseudoscience, you should take this online Big 5 quiz instead" energy

my reference point for this kind of extension is the one that changes “social justice” and “sjw” with “skeleton” and “skeleton warrior.” For example:

“sjws are taking over X” -> “skeleton warriors are taking over X”

Actually now that I’m typing this I hope there’s a good one for “woke”.

Sociological Claim: the extent to which a prominence-weighted sample of the rationalist community has refused to credit the Empirical or Philosophical Claims even when presented with strong arguments and evidence is a reason to distrust the community’s collective sanity.

Zack my guy you are so fucking close. Also just fucking leave.

It’s gotta be a cult programming thing. X happened to you, you learned Y, but that’s incorrect, you should have learned Z, read this 10000 word manuscript, then come to our learning session/poly orgy and we can become less wrong together

Ok, you do see that you’ve written a self-own, right? Because if you do, bravo, you can eat with us today. But if not, you’re gonna have to do some deep learning elsewhere.

  1. +2, You haven't made the terms clear enough for there to even be a discussion.
  2. see above (placeholder for list formatting)
  3. Uh, OK? Then no (pure sneer: the plot thins). Robots building robots probably already happens in some sense, and we aren't in the Singularity yet, my boy.
  4. Sure, why not.

(pure sneer response: imagine I'm a high school bully, and that I assault you in the manner befitting someone of my station, and then I say, "How's that for a thought experiment?")
