I think they've been pretty sane AI-wise, lately.

Ayo is this real? It'd be fucking wild if it was real

Did that dude get canceled?

Is that a recent change? I feel like I've seen a fair number of dead links on Wikipedia, mainly on older unpopular articles

I'm a bit surprised to see his name. I read "Seeing like a bank" and snippets of a few other blogposts, he didn't come off as a ghoul

So what exactly happens to people who get really into Scott et al. and then realize that they're racist? I mean people like OP who genuinely seemed shocked by how buddy buddy their "unorthodox" intellectuals are with blatant racists.

Do they slowly disengage from rationalist-spheres, or do they just become cryptoracists like all the other idw types?

The craziest part is that it works as well on a standard phone.

We didn’t bother testing out any other functionality, such as Spotify integration, Vision, etc., but we wouldn’t be surprised if some of them didn’t work.

I skimmed this thread and OOP is mad that you can beat Civ without literally conquering the world, a change which may have been made for balance and depth; but ig its just another attempt by the soiboi elites to longhouse gamers

Edit: whoops, turns out everyone wrote my comment but better. Have an unhinged quote retweet instead

Here's the article I had in mind. His argument is that we should bless the proles with shame (the high iqs will naturally grow towards success), and shy away from "conferring" status; there'd be no point since the low-iqs wouldn't maintain their societal positions, and intervention beyond stable homes and a clean environment barely raise iq anyway.

I used to think that the libertarianism was the most sociopathic mainstream ideology...

The Atlantic's biggest anti-DEI proponent just wrote an article on the memoir of a writer on the fringe of the IDW. He was actually one of the guys I had in mind when I suggested the stubstack weekly.

In case you're unfamiliar with Rob Henderson - and you probably are - he's an orphan who climbed his way out of poverty, made it to Yale and now tweets about wokie cosmopolitans victim communists, the family unit, and the heritabilty of IQ.

Fantastically enough he's also a big proponent of the success sequence? One his commenters suggests that he may have the causality of the sequence reversed, and Henderson says...

His whole square-peg-round-hole shtick is based on glazing hereditarianism while simultaneously purporting conservative values on personal responsibility. He also has countless podcasts with Richard "it's cruel that we let the 85-iq blacks believe they're capable of self-actualization" Hannania; on paper you'd think that an orphan would be repulsed by Hannania's love for setting societal expectations of success based on demographic, but I guess Henderson's cool with all the lesser orphans ending up janitors at best as long as they have a highschool degree and no bastards. It's just good luck that he ended up with a high enough iq to make it to Yale, too bad about the other kids but there's nothing you can do 🤷‍♂️.

At the end if the day Henderson is just like every modern right wing ideologue. Just post after post of personal grievances masquerading as social critque; each one unexamined and subtlety incompatible with one another
