Pope Guilty posted:As far as I can tell he's just a racist jerk. He doesn't seem to be into monarchy, extreme proprietarianism, or any other neoreactionary bugbears other than psuedoscientific racism. He's one of those guys who was part of a pre-existing group of thinking man's klansmen but is now friendly with nerd fascists. Like Steve Sailer or John Derbyshire.

Pope Guilty posted:Sailer and Derbyshire are just old-school Republican racists in the William F. Buckley vein, though, and I'd connect them to neoconservatism rather than neoreaction. Sure, politically but they post in the comments section of NRx blogs, so I'd say they're involved with the sphere even if they don't draw from it. I'm sure some Neo-reactionary has a chart or graph of exactly where they fall on the neoconservative/neoreactionary spectrum though!

Well at any rate, he's not a neo-reactionary outside of them including him in lists of "insight porn". At any rate, the point of posting the article was to show that they formulated some kind of NRx leadership just to throw some people out of their internet movement. It's like the Night Of Long Knives but with unfollowing people on twitter.

coyo7e posted:I worked at a psych research center for a good while and they did a lot of studies around this stuff. In every peer reviewed study which I am aware of, they found a direct correlation between cortisol (stress hormone) levels being higher, and people having a more difficult time delaying gratification when given a choice - even when they are aware of a superior potential outcome down the road, be it more candy for waiting a few minutes, or more money for turning down a small fee, in lieu of a larger reward being given weeks later. Stress levels are generally abnormally high among the children of first-generation immigrants, the poor, etc. See, that's an explanation that doesn't glorify white nerds. What kind of SJW mindkilled prog are you?

Although I think the thing is that they know that their ideal society would not involve freedom of expression and thought, but they also know that the fact that the current society values it lets them play the victim.

Woolie Wool posted:Does anyone have any thoughts on this article comparing and contrasting the rationalist movement, libertarians, and the Dork Enlightenment? The basic thesis seems to be that all three are forms of anti-political politics created because nerds are too I'm just reminded that of all rationalists, Yudkowsky had the best reaction to Moldbug because he was able to form the idea that Moldbug might be biased and not purely interpreting cold hard evidence and coming to rational conclusions.

to understand, accept, or do politics so they want to replace politics with mechanistic systems following rigid rule systems (respectively, logic, the free market, and 
, distorted and fetishized into forms completely divorced from reality). I think he gives them way too much slack, though. Someone like Moldbug isn't really very smart, he is a stupid person's idea of what smart people write like.

His most recent article was about NRx too. I wonder if he gets tired writing huge articles about how the truth is in the middle between far-rightism and the center-left.

divabot posted:I met Scott Alexander a few years ago. Despite the increasingly unremitting awfulness of his blog, he's actually ridiculously nice in person. He projects a Niceness Field that increases the surface tone of all conversations around him, and makes you feel bad about calling him out unless you can make a really good argument right then and there in real time. This may explain how his blog got like it did: I hypothesise that nobody he's on speaking terms with will tell him to his face when he's full of it, so he assumes the Internet response is an aberration. He seems nice in a Into The Woods "You're not good, you're not bad, you're just nice" way. http://slatestarcodex.com/2014/11/23/links-1114-i-link-therefore-i-am/ Here it is. Scott gets angry at people for making negative comments about a guy who jumped on the gamergate bandwagon to promote his political goals.

Commenter calls him out for talking obvious bollocks, is inexplicably not refuted 'cos I think he's nailed Scott's essential problem: he literally doesn't comprehend the arguments of people opposing him, so constructs truly weird strawman versions of them that he then proudly slays. I recall him doing this to Arthur Chu and Laurie Penny (who I'm sure was appropriately appreciative of the Neoreactionary Dating Agency bit in the last three paragraphs of this epic bilge). I've noticed that when he wants to draw an equivalency between NRx and anyone left of center, he'll use as his example of NRx thinking some frequent blog commenter or another, and for his examples of the excesses of social justice warriors he uses... anonymous commenters on news articles that he's read.
