DACK FAYDEN posted:Slate Star Codex apparently has some kind of hot take about how we should be "against overgendering harassment" because males get harassed too and #metoo is unnecessarily excluding a victim group Type those unkind things, the other forum isn't worth your time if your honest opinion would get you banned and who knows, maybe you'll help out somebody who is on the brink of this poo poo but not yet beyond reach.

I love multiple collars, makes dudes look like hothouse flowers. Give me a bunch of collars and no other part of the shirt techbros, it's the only sensible thing to do.

Cowards deleted it. You can still find it w/ search (89 points and ten comments) but the page itself returns the "We couldn't find that" when you click the result. Divabot, please copy/paste.

If you're A Rationalist Thinkfluencer and also burning the evidence the only difference between you and a cult leader is how many followers you have. I may think Big Yud is not a very smart man, but at least all of the Sequences are right there, so people can go decide for themselves that that's the case. I mean, even Roko's Basilisk post is findable with a bit of a search.

Being kind, it was one man's attempt to see if he would be a good charismatic leader and be able to bring out the excellence in people who subordinated some of their decision making to him ala the Army or other authoritarian institution. Being accurate, a cult of personality.

divabot posted:sitting here contemplating stuff I could put in a book called "Roko's Basilisk". Possible subtitle: "A journey into the dark heart of the transhumanist dream", though I may not live up to it. polyamory as preached by the cult as opposed to as practiced by the cult and how that compares with similar cults ie somehow it's always the thought leaders who end up getting all the action

Incels as a whole are too narcissistic to be part of the DE. The black pill isn't about improving society or oneself, it's about freeing oneself from the illusion that change for the better is even possible. The movements might find themselves temporarily aligned in their desires to change the system, but the end states of the two are very different.

It's not like the DE has an agreed upon end goal either. They'll purge one another as soon as they're done with everyone else.

Somfin posted:"stuff I don't understand but Yud probably does because he's literally paid to think." 'He's paid to think about a very specific (and stupid) thing that he has convinced other people to pay him to think about' is a fairly succinct summation of Yud's entire life.

Also they're not even Leftists they're just /pol dudes pretending to be to own the libs. Land is regarded as the most intellectual of the DE because he was an academic, even though he never recovered from his psychotic break.

I read that woman's suicide note.Darth Walrus posted:Also, a big thing for her seems to have been that she found herself becoming more and more like the ‘social justice warriors’ she’d been trained to hate, so she killed herself before she could ‘radicalise’ because she’d tied way too much of her identity into this specific community and this specific mindset and was horrified by the notion of what might exist outside it. It seems like she killed herself because the alternative, of not hanging out with a bunch of assholes, was simply unacceptable. gently caress the people who harassed her obviously.

Syd Midnight posted:How do they rationalize thresholds? That "line on a chart can be extrapolated infinitely" is a bedrock of superstition and anti-scientific nonsense, but it's also a foundation of a lot of their beliefs. I'm so used to seeing it come from a different direction that things like "speck of dust" and "Moores Law forever" just blend right in with satire like "Americans consume over 500 grams of deadly cyanide and 25 liters of toxic methanol each day in the form of applesauce, enough to kill thousands of people! [see TheTruthAboutApples.com] " or "By plotting maximum vehicle speeds from 1850-1950, we can see that relativistic interstellar travel will be commonplace by the year 2000." They've got a whole thing about this called noticing skulls. Basically the argument is that they're smart enough to notice the skulls and that the skulls are their for lesser intellects, but as luminaries of the mind they'll be okay. The fact that none of them can function in society as it is and have to hide in a group of like-minded individuals ought to be a warning but is instead taken as proof that they're as deviated from the norms as they think they are. Not one of these people thinks they're on the left end of any bell curves.

Frankly people are doing ancient people a disservice when they act like a Dark Ages peasant would die of shock in Times Square. If they could speak English they'd be fine. It's just moderns wanting to pretend they're special. VVVV edit I was just thinking about the Transmet reference specifically Relevant Tangent has a new favorite as of 12:05 on Jun 27, 2018 |

None of those things are even slightly inconceivable/incomprehensible. They're shocking but they're not going to make your brain stop. They're not outside basic human behavior. It's just foolish to think that humans of the future are going to behave in non-human ways. We don't.

90s Cringe Rock posted:I'm pretty sure part of it, in Transmet, is revivals being unceremoniously dumped into a shelter at night and out on the street during the day. They've got nothing, and the people "looking after" them are just the revivals who're handling it better, while anyone who actually does just nod at culture shock stuff like ebola cola and "we don't actually really know what year it is" either gets out of there and lives a normal life, or tries to and fails because they've got gently caress-all resources and don't know anyone who can help. Yeah, it's definitely not that the culture is too shocking it's that people are still assholes and they're coming into the situation as adults with zero resources. I mean, she recognizes the President, is aware that Spider might be interested, and is able to navigate the technology to get him the photos. I just think the idea that the people of the future are going to be incomprehensible is stupid. If you gave a Dark Ages peasant some time they'd be able to navigate the present. We're not fundamentally different from the people who existed thousands of years ago, never mind hundreds.

Nick Land is the dumbest of these people in the sense that he had actual academic status and threw it away so he could do tweets, link to Jacobite, and make approving gestures in the direction of Jordan Peterson. Yud has never and will never achieve anything, but Land had something for a brief moment.
