Finished the vid (at 2x speed). uwu libertarian is right. There's no analysis or insight on any of the examples. A lot of details are being glossed over. If the world was 90% people like the vid creator, we'd all be living in company towns.
Also... is this an example of horseshoe theory?? Aren't charter cities just soviets/workers councils????
Oh, absolutely. I didn't have the time to investigate her position and whether or not it was a resignation situation. I was mainly trying to show how Scott misses the point entirely and doesn't understand how power works in as few words as I could get away with.
Thanks for the added context, though; it is an excellent point. Someone in Oxman's position is insulated from the kinds of power plays that can oust people in positions like Gay, which Scott does not recognise at all.
I was making a vague reference to that because I only had a vague recollection of a sneerclub discussion involving “eudaimonia”. Looked it up, I don’t think there was some major thing that happened. Rats use the word “eudaimonia” a lot, that seems to be pretty much it.
It might have been related to this:

from now on, my new bit is: I’m gonna prove how current yud tweet is a joke. Not that anyone needed more reasons to not take him seriously, of course. Just clowning on him and his inability to consciously produce humor for a lil’ fun.
In this case: Quoting an exact percentage for a made up quantity is clearly a reference to the “32.33, repeating of course” line from the leeroy jenkins video which was later revealed as a hoax, so by the transitive property, this twitter thread is also a hoax. Quite a clever, humorous, and timely meme reference. Bravo Dr. Yud
Now I want a song parody of Kyrie by Mr. Mister where instead of “Kyrie Eleison” it’s “(mer)cury chelation”
At least time cube was brave enough to tackle universal truths. AGI is pissweak. May flights of angels sing thee to thy rest in 4 simultaneously occurring days, time cube guy
Lmao this is so good. I think it would actually work. Go forth and grift imo
CW: death/shooting
I guess I missed all of this. Here’s an article on the incident in which Emma was shot and killed:
It is difficult to determine as an outside observer as to what is the truth here. There are at least three narratives at play, and I can’t give any particular weight to any of them.
The article vacillates between saying sometimes identifying bad faith is good, actually, and trying to move the goal posts so everyone is still acting in good faith. Just about as good self-editing that I’d expect from LW.
Ok, ok, but what would Bayes say
My best attempt to follow this advice produces: people who can get pregnant. Works for me!
