I Was Fired From My Company But It Turned Out I Was Destined To Prevent The Robot Apocalypse With My Over 9000 IQ

A really good lawyer carries duct tape

can’t remember where I heard this quip but:

“I used to be a utilitarian. Then I turned 13.”

Something I’d like to investigate is this very right-wing phenomenon of defending granular “freedoms,” like saying slurs in public with strangers, or not wearing a mask during a pandemic etc.

The easy explanation as to why they do this so often is that the boot rwers lack the intellectual capacity to reason about what “freedom” really means and how it’s not a matter of being able to do whatever small atomic action that their overlords, the tie rwers, tell them is important. The thing getting in my way of believing this easy explanation is that it’s kind of heartbreaking to think people can be that stupid.

RE: boot and tie terminology: see here

I hate this phrase but this is “saying the quiet part out loud” in action.

Trying to stoke fear of bureaucracy is classic annoying libertarian huckster AKA yud energy

Dread it; run from it; my interpretation arrives all the same.

Bonus points for the part where he rails against contraception and sex education in the appendix, because we all know what this is really about.

Learning diplomacy is like, early adulthood stuff. People lie and shit, you learn that in kid’s shows. This is just another case of a LWer re-litigating something under the guise of inventing new brain jutsu.

That is, sure, you can assume good faith when talking to someone for the first time. But one shouldn’t hold onto that assumption tightly; I think LWers tend to hold onto their assumptions way too hard. Much harder than people who are supposed to be uPdAtInG tHeIr PrIoRs should. Otherwise, why would anyone spend time writing this article?
