Roko’s twitter is an absolutely reliable guide to how recently a woman with dyed hair and facial piercings kicked him in the nuts again
"The West has far too much freedom and needs to give people the option to voluntarily constrain themselves: in food, in sex, in religion and in the computational inputs they accept."
Incoherent gibberish, too dumb to realize how mask off he is.
I don't even get his point. You can voluntarily use your freedom to constrain yourself already. What, is the Food Optimizer gonna knock down your door and force-feed you McDonald's? Has vegetarianism become illegal? Clearly what he's actually mad about is that the state won't let him involuntarily constrain others
The pink hair and piercings types generally have fertility below replacement so will not last.
Leave it to the inventor of acausal torture AI to understand cause and effect. Other highly meaningful statistical indicators of having few children might include measuring lenghts in feet, speaking Norwegian, wearing a kimono, working in AI research, using the word "nootropic" or having a passport from a wealthy post-industrialized country.
Since a number of people have claimed that this is #Fascism, I should note that I don't think fascism is a good idea; the core problem is that fascism as it existed in the 20th century was fragile due to too much central control from a small number of powerful individuals.
Palingenetic schmalingenetic. We should simply have a decentralized majority voluntarily choosing to implement these dietary restrictions, arranged sexual partners, online censorship and whatever abridgement of religious freedom cuts down on "virtue signaling" in his mind.
I wonder if Roko has ever considered converting to Wahhabist Islam?
"The main problem with fascism is that it didn't last" is not the convincing disavowal of fascism Roko thinks it is.
Why did the new word I learned today have to be Tradhumanism of all things? :( I'm holding out for a word about ducklings tomorrow.
You're in the wrong place if you want to avoid infohazards like this.
"The role of society is to control what people eat, not what drugs they take" ok dude
"Fat people disgust me, but drugs are cool."
Hurling ordure at the TREACLES, especially those closely related to LessWrong.
AI-Industrial-Complex grift is fine as long as it sufficiently relates to the AI doom from the TREACLES. (Though TechTakes may be more suitable.)
This is sneer club, not debate club. Unless it's amusing debate.
[Especially don't debate the race scientists, if any sneak in - we ban and delete them as unsuitable for the server.]
