  • Are these supposed to be hyper-rationalists, because what the actual fuck? “Perhaps women evolved smaller heads because the clumsy dears kept bonking big ones on rocks.”

    “Why are good tech founders like Bezos so rare?” Is it because you have to have combination mid IQ, the sociopathy to take exploit millions of plebs, and wealthy parents funding you during the gold rush of moving basic-as-fuck commerce ideas to the internet? “No, it must be some manifest destiny magic that allows high T to mix with high IQ without them canceling each other out.”





  • “I repeat…”

    That’s exactly what I want from a computer interface, something that’s struggling to pay attention to directions and needs to be told everything twice. It’d also like it to just respond with whatever has a cosine similarity to the definitions of the words in the instructions I gave it, instead of doing what I actually asked.










  • That’s just not a realistic perspective of what is happening. People are not coming up with these ideas in a vacuum, nor does simply giving them the actual facts cause them to reevaluate their positions.

    There are still people out there trying to pretend like the Holocaust did not happen. This is one of history’s most well-documented atrocities. Lack of information is not a problem here. People are deciding to believe this delusion after they are radicalized by bad faith actors on social media.


  • Why are people arriving at delusions that are in actual conflict with reality? Because there are mountains of content debunking all that shit. There are already hundreds or thousands of rebuttals. Why do delusions persist? Is it perhaps that people spreading them are successfully able to radicalize others by “just asking questions?”
