He's plenty smart in terms of verbal fluency and debate. However he lacks introspective capacity or moral center or empathy, without which he is simply an ambitiously sharp tool being wielded by others (like Thiel)

Apparently blind and unaware of the deficit.

How can I explain color to a blind man? You're either attuned to the suffering around you or you're contributing to it. Apparently you can't see that. You must be blind.

What contact in your personal or professional life have you had with trans folk? Are you speaking with experience of appreciating their pain or are you just speaking based on what you've heard?

If you can accept the reality of gender dysphoria, then it is reasonable to address how that condition is best treated. The consequences of not treating can be lethal via suicide so this is not an idle question. If transitioning makes the difference between life or death (or chronic substantial depression) then arguably encouraging this affected people to "be trans" is the right thing to do. Sorry if it hurts your feeling but that's the reality of it.

Just about any medical procedure will sometimes produce regrets in some portion of the population of people who undergo it, for instance vaccinations, amniocentesis, etc. It's not reasonable to suggest that because this is true that no one should have access to the treatments.

Running arch for years now. If you keep it up to date and don't lean on the aur too much its very stable.

The enemy of my enemy isn't really a friend but I'm willing to support them sometimes?
