They probably exist but considering how far to the left Scotland swings in most elections they are definitely not True Scotsmen :v:

A guy who owned (I say owned 'cause I think he's dead now) a local comic store near where I live in Glasgow canvassed for UKIP last itme I saw him. Don't know if he was natively-born or not, though.

I think these idiots think that S.A. tries to be some kind of... elite space on the internet looking down on everyone else?

What they seem to fail to realise is that everyone does that to everyone else on S.A.

"crocodile humor"

...Is this supposed to be of the same root as crocodile tears? What, is sarcasm too hard a term for them to understand?

Bioshock was loving excellent, and a brilliant point-by-point takedown of why Objectivism does not work. Ken Levine has made it clear in interviews that he did not intend Bioshock to be a takedown of Objectivism, and in fact has no idea why Bioshock was good, but that doesn't detract from Bioshock being really, really good.

Then who made it a critique of Objectivism, if not Levine?

I think Shadow over innsmouth is meant to be a parable about race mixing. That, the infamous cat in "the rats in the wall", the fact that something up there with none elucidan geometries and terrible dragon octopi is that someones ancestor was partially black, the endless endless screeds written by Lovecraft during his lifetime etc.

I can't really comment on the comparison with Solomon Kaine since I don't know that person, but yeah. Lovecraft was crazy racist.

Also, isn't the big reveal in the 'Rats in the Wall' supposed to be that the narrator's ancestors were supposed to be Celtic druids/Morlocks or something?

Y'know, I'm surprised these dickheads haven't been screaming about Dallas since it would seem to play into their dumb-rear end race realism.

You know, I can't remember which thread I read it in, but it is true that the vast majority of these voices are people who have A) not gotten to a social standing they would want to be at and feel the need to lash out, but B) never wish to be judged for it too.

I'm actually a bit impressed that they managed to write an ode to the ascendant cultural right without providing a single example of relevant right-wing culture.

Even though they accuse leftist culture of only being able to shout-down, they are essentially distracting from themselves; Their best 'creation' is critique; when any of their cultural leaders try and create anything, it's astoundingly amateurish.

Peel posted:

How concise is concise? Because Together with some academic associates Dr Green runs Oxford Forum, an organisation which was set up to oppose increasing ideological bias in mainstream academia, and to be a centre for the expression of dissenting ideas in philosophy, psychology and other academic fields.

Dr Green currently holds no salaried academic position, a situation her associates regard as profoundly anomalous and unjust. One of the purposes of Oxford Forum is to reinstate her in the academic world.

The reason Dr Green is not a salaried academic is partly because her ideas are out of sympathy with the prevailing intellectual climate, but also because her education was ruined. A child prodigy, she was the victim of a hostile state education system, and an unsympathetic college when she was an undergraduate at Oxford. She is uniquely suited to doing research, and could be making significant progress in several areas of knowledge if she was not hampered by her exiled position and lack of funding.

You know, calling themselves rationalists would be a lot less irritating if they just switched it to "Bayesian Rationalist" or something.

It'd be like if people tried to take a term that meant a particular kind of socialism and turned it into a term that meant an-cap oh wait that happened with "Libertarian" nm

Eh, it feels more like those twits who tried to get the term 'Brights' to be a thing.

I don't really buy this. For one thing, I'm pretty sure the Kochs, at least, are libertarian true believers. The libertarian-to-fascism pipeline definitely exists, but it has more to do with Rand and Rothbard than with Reason and Cato.

Libertarians (at least, not the good, Spanish Civil war-era ones) are Nazis who deliberately obfuscate their political positions, hth.
