It’s somewhat non-trivial to create a billionaire, let alone an EA variant; what other ideas do you have for improving EA?

who is this peter singer fellow? Sounds like a great and unproblematic man. Please tell us more of his teachings.

It's probably been discussed a shit-ton already, but boy does this guy not get why he's a chud. Consider these two quotes, heavily edited for brevity:

I’m [...] a liberal Zionist, [...] etc. ([an identity] well-enough represented at LessOnline [...]).

and:

The closest to right-wing politics that I witnessed at LessOnline was [moderate politics].

Of course, one shouldn't expect s11n.blog to understand the fascist, let alone right-wing, nature of liberalism or Zionism. That is simply how fascists are.

For the sake of a yudzillion dust specks, what’s another castle?

ah fuck guess I'm reading this one.

at least there's that.

There’s a lot to snark at. A few in particular:

• Scott is irrationally scared of journalism. He talks about it as if it’s an omnipresent, omnipotent spectre that swoops down on people on a whim and destroys their lives when it pleases the spectre. In reality, the “whims” are a confluence of the subject’s presence in the public consciousness and market pressures on reporting.
• Scott has no clue how power works. On one side, you have someone who resigned because of a billionaire-backed witch hunt. On the other, Oxman didn’t resign. Scott fails to see that it’s the billionaire who holds power here, and instead thinks it’s the journalists, specifically the ones that said his understanding of journalism was shit at best.
• This whole post is really an expression/extension of Scott’s victim mentality/persecution complex/“nice guy” personality, where the mean ‘jocks’ (journalists/people scott doesn’t agree with) get to ‘date the hot girls’ (by which I mean, ‘commit lots of mild misdeeds’), while the ‘nice guys’ (the eugenicist sex creeps) are shunned by society.

Ok sure, so she’s an idiot nazi then, and has been for a while.

Lol, it took me single digit minutes to figure out the tweet is in fact unironic admiration of the video. What really sold me was his tweets are 90% rat shit and 10% willful consumption of IDF propaganda

Reading the article is like seeing a guy at a party pick up a guitar, announce he’s going to play wonderwall, but for whatever reason he starts holding the guitar like a trumpet, blowing on the headstock and everything. There’s no indication that this is a joke. A crowd forms and they love it, tunelessly and arrhythmically chanting “wonder wall! Wonder wall!” Over and over. It’s not even part of the song. You see him later making out in a puddle, people still chanting “wonder wall!” at the puddle. Your only recourse is to set the couch on fire and leave.

Not a huge distance to travel from Bayesian reasoning to Stochastic terrorism

More like you say they’re T-800 prototypes, and I go in and see TI-84s.
