Silver2195 posted:I think it's unfair to call the desire for a greatly extended lifespan "creepy" in itself (and I think the arguments that it is are generally motivated by sour grapes), but people definitely go in pseudoscientific directions with it, and sometimes it also reveals alarming deficiencies in people's moral sense. A mild example of the latter is the way Yudkowsky's Pascal's wager argument for cryonics doesn't factor in the difference between the cryonicist getting the money and your spouse or children getting it. The extreme form has occurred in this very thread, when Count Duckula admitted he wouldn't hesitate to let a lot of other people die in order to extend his own life. That's just basic honesty though. It's not like the people who want to live forever want everyone to live forever. The reason it's creepy is that the powerful are nakedly lusting after more power. Generally we prefer our sociopaths to cloak themselves. Seriously, the answer to the question "How many people would you kill for an extra year of life?" is always non-zero with people who want to live forever. They've got tons of justifications, but what it always boils down to is my life is more valuable than a random person.

Guess who might have a direct line to the White House:"The article" posted:Moldbug, who does not do interviews and could not be reached for this story, has opened up a line to the White House, communicating with Bannon and his aides through an intermediary, according to a source. During the transition, he made clear his deep skepticism that the Russians were behind the hacking of the Democratic National Committee, the source said – a message that Trump himself reiterated several times.

Oh yeah, I definitely thought the article was saying Bannon was the one communicating with Moldbug at a remove. Can't imagine Trump taking a dude like Yarvin seriously, but I can see him listening to Bannon taking Yarvin seriously.

Oligopsony posted:Well, that's a priori at plausible, but I was thinking more of the specific evidence that was marhsalled for it - "Yarvin has voiced skepticism of the Russian role in the hacks, and so has Trump!" - is extraordinarily weak beer. More or less everybody who's vaguely hostile to Washington technocrats, rightly or wrongly, voiced skepticism of that. Not really? Pretty much universal agreement that it was the Russians, aside from the DE and Trump himself (because Putin owns him).

The Right is aware that they'll lose when it comes to street violence, which implies that the popular support they constantly trumpet doesn't exist. Long scholarly (it's scholarly because it's long and vice versa) works must be written about how Nazi punching is barbarous.

It's probably specifically because he got pointed out, he tends to go dark when people start paying attention. If people're going to link Tweets, do the rest of us a solid and include the text/picture as well, because they're ephemeral (especially with someone like him) and posts are not.
