Also, Pinker should pretty much be a neoreactionary god. I don't know if these people are reading him, but he should be right up their alley.

I dunno, I've only ever read the blank slate but he spends a substantial portion of it arguing that left wing ideals can be good inherently without neccisarilly needing to depend on a complete rejection of evolutionary psychology, and a lot of evo-psych conclusions can easily be turned around against the right.

I think Pinker is, along with Dawkins, someone they make occasional token efforts to convert to their side.

Better Angels of Our Nature makes some dubious arguments in places; his estimate of the death toll of the An Lushan Rebellion, for example, is generally considered an absurd overestimate, while his estimates of death tolls for some recent wars are probably underestimates. It's probably closer to being correct than the narrative that things have been getting worse and worse for the past few centuries, but I wouldn't cite it too approvingly.

Literature is not exhaustible, for the sufficient and simple reason that no single book is. A book is not an isolated being: it is a relationship, an axis of innumerable relationships.

That was quite a spectacular meltdown. What prompted the original ban?

Twitter doesn't like threats of actual violence, they gave disreputable floor-making GBS threads pooplord Chuck C. Johnson an "permanent suspension" and have suspended any and all accounts he's touched. Plus there's the whole "New accounts created to replace suspended accounts will be suspended.” rule, but I'm not sure how long it'll take Twitter to suspend any parachutes Anissimov uses.

Pretty easy to get him reported for continuing in the same vein, and they probably know how to look up IPs and stuff. Apparently he was suspended for repeated threats of violence against Shanley Kane and Weev, and continuing with his new account. If he hadn't alienated so many people and told the ones he hadn't alienated to gently caress off, I'd see if there was anyone still on speaking terms with him who could check he was OK and not too nuts.

let me use this example: imagine four rationalists on the edge of a cliff. say a direct copy of the rationalist nearest the cliff is sent to the back of the line of rationalists and takes the place of the first rationalist. the formerly first rationalist becomes the second, the second becomes the third, and the fourth falls off the cliff and joins rationalwiki.

bayes works the same way.

Republicans who don't believe in a secure border aren't republicans at all. They're internationalists. That makes them communists.
If e.g. Vosgian Beast had posted this, I'd congratulate him on the convincing and funny Moldbug parody.
