Even well before Robespierre got going properly you had already had about three or four rounds of previous stout revolutionaries who ended up on the wrong side of a political fight getting guillotined. Often the very people who orchestrated the removal of the previous heads getting chopped a few months/weeks later. Robespierre being of course an example of that.

It's like how the word "revolution" can also mean coming around in a circle again.

In other news, LessWronger Gwern did some work to uncover Satoshi Nakamoto, and as a result is being accused of wanting to cause his death.

Gwern was one of the main researchers who fingered Craig Wright as Nakamoto Dundee, evidently having been caught by documents Wright had falsified to make himself appear to be Satoshi. Mostly Gwern is pretty good, but oh well. (Someone had previously claimed Gwern was Nakamoto, so it's an area Gwern knows.) Where did you see this accusation?

Does the "work" he did hold up to the standards established by his analysis of a pdf he found on mediafire that yielded a 98% chance of it being a legit Hollywood script? Because that was a pretty amazing piece of work - he starts with, "Half of all leaked scripts are real, because this blog post I found about leaked scripts lists five real ones and five fake ones," and it just gets better from there.

edit: One of his article taglines is, "Objectively, anime/manga better than American alternatives. So why the need to justify?" Amazing, amazing.

Who knows. But the furore this has whipped up amongst the buttcoin (yeah I said it) loonies justifies it, IMO.

And of course you'll find dumb crap like that; Gwern is a lesswronger after all. I'd steer clear of most of his stuff which aren't about nootropics. He's, unsurprisingly, a fan of scientific racism.

Is his opinion of Nootropics that you probably shouldn't bother and there is no solid scientific evidence for any of it beyond the focus/concentration/staying awake stuff everyone at ivy league takes anyways? Because if not, you're probably been too light on him!

His opinion is that some of them are good, not necessarily out of studies (he does cite them if they exist), but out of self-experimentation. And of course, they aren't blind like real studies ought to be and are N=1.

I like how these people believe the idea that other races are somehow worse than your own/that Black people are stupid is somehow their special trade secret. Like, "if only the world would dare to think negroes are dumb, everything would be better". As if nobody else but them was racist; as if like 95% of people were embracing multiculturalism and egalitarianism.

I have done a bit of BDSM also, and never used safe words or negotiated boundaries. Safe words and negotiated boundaries are contract negotiations, and you get contract negotiation in sex that is done for money. The safe words and boundary negotiations are not an indication that all is well, but rather an indication that something is terribly wrong.

Just five paragraphs and my brain wants a shower. Amazing.
