I'm pretty sure divabot's still probed for getting too enthusiastic with book promotion. Anyway I'm pretty sure this will be another ICO that disappears with all the money after being "hacked" like every other one but I love dentacoin just for being so loving weird and crazy, like clearly they started with "bitcoins" and worked backwards to find a problem to solve with them and the problem they found was "dentists and people with teeth need tokens to not allow their teeth to rot out"

Well now I've seen everything  The Vosgian Beast posted:anyone remember those halcyon several months in the 2010s where it wasn't cool to call things "autistic" I don't think that actually happened. Like I've done my best to cut it out of my vocabulary and I know a chunk of yospos has done that too (but not everyone) but I never really saw it decrease in use on the rest of the forum or anywhere else

Peanut Butler posted:Couldn't stop thinking about it, and was curious if posters ITT had any thoughts on the issue of risk associated with being an outspoken atheist. Who are the thinkers out there today actually putting themselves in harm's way? I'm sure they exist but the ones who crow the most about being 'dangerous' or 'persecuted' tend to be folks who don't need to rely on community to survive. I think generally the people who are at risk are the people who live in theocracies (so, not Westerners). I live in the south, so I get to see a lot of windmill tilting about the War on Christmas and "Oh no, people are trying to take away our rights to be Christian! (by saying we're not allowed to force non-Christians into our way of life)" and I think really it all boils down to people who live in a fairly civil and comfortable setting wanting that feeling of being The Underdog. It makes things exciting, because you're doing something meaningful and important and just, but it's safe excitement that doesn't come with the terror of being murdered or executed or ostracized, and you generally get the support of a community of your peers, so you all get to bond over how terrible your enemy is and how great you all are for fighting it.

That sort of need to inherit a meaningful struggle seems to be driving a lot of the right wing behavior these days Their 'way of life' is fading away and being overtaken by more liberal thought. But natives pressed into colonial schools they are not. In fact that think wiping away cultures is cool and good so no one sympathizes with them

Well, it also happens outside of religious stuff: see all the windmill-tilting kids who try to equate their hobbies with oppressed identities. I tend to feel it's a combo of the aforementioned excitement of being the underdog and the feeling of "My life isn't super fun or successful, and I'd rather blame that on oppression than accept that life is just generally kinda not exciting and/or I made some bad choices earlier and getting out of this will require that I do some serious work."

I am inviting them to become better friends and allies than they already are by discarding their blue pill illusions about women – by becoming even more evil than they already are. The trouble with Nazis is that they leftists stuck in the 1930s, while the rest of the left has moved even further left. And the left was mighty bluepilled back in the 1930s. The trouble with blaming everything on Jews is not that it is unkind to Jews. Unkind to Jews is not my problem. I will let Jews worry about that. The problem with blaming everything on Jews is that it leads to the conclusion that 1930s leftism, leftism before we let the Jews into the left wing club, was just fine. Yes, Jews have always been subversive, and they were subversive back in the 1730s also. But I am pretty sure it was not Jews that caused everything except science to turn to poo poo in the nineteenth century, and it was not Jews that caused science to turn to poo poo in the twentieth. What happened to science after World War II was plainly the result of Harvard strong arming the Royal Society. Andrew is blaming the flies for the condition of a corpse that has a bullet hole in the head. It is not that I support flies, it is that I oppose being shot in the head. There is a correlation between flies and corpses, but Nazis have the causation backwards.

I know how irony-deaf Autistic people can be so try not to use it pejoratively, as my younger brother is autistic and has some trouble with metaphor/allegory. I know this because I tried to discuss the allegorical side of a thing we'd both seen (can't remember what) and he flat out refused to accept that there was any hidden meaning in it at all. (It wasn't just me being me, the allegory had been pointed out to me first)

http://slatestarcodex.com/2017/07/24/targeting-meritocracy/ another lovely scottpost is up, and this one is pretty stupid as expected.  jesus christ. let's not question the failings of neoliberal ultracapitalist ideologies, but just assume any economic recessions are due to the guy at the top not being meritorious enough. and if you're wondering whether scott has a magically fair and objective rubric from which to judge merit among economists which would turn up a candidate who's most meritorious and by way of utilitarian magicks can turn neoliberalism into something that will never fail... i don't know why anyone would think that, actually.

And naturally, the way to give someone an unfair advantage in being good at economics is magic gene therapy, rather than giving them a good education. Gotta go with the example that sounds technoutopian and also subtly implies that merit is genetic.
