My stance is that I hate Aella because she exploits her life experience to be a disgusting misogynist and it is morally correct to kinkshame unpleasant heterosexual men who associate with the rationalist sex cult. I’m not interested in other people’s hangups beyond that.

I don’t know what it is with capitalists and needing to prove to themselves they’re aligned with the natural order. I’m a marxist but I can’t imagine calling the TRPF a “law of nature”. It would be embarrassing!

Yeah okay. Boring!!! You suck!!!

I see now he’s also got a supply and demand tattoo*? I don’t fucking know. Maybe he thinks red and black is the antifa flag. Maybe he got it for sexy humiliation purposes. Maybe it’s faded blue ink.

*“If you want to celebrate [capitalism] with a symbol, you’ll have to get a law of nature tattooed on you.”

Cringe but my god the horde of buttmad nazis force me to be on weirdo & girl girl’s side

Personally I have more questions about a Rationalist having an anarcho-communist flag tattoo.

The eigenrobot thread he’s responding to is characteristically bizarre and gross. You’d think eigenrobot being anti-eugenics is a good thing but he still finds a way to make it suspect. (He believes being unable to make babies is worse than death?)

To be fair I also believe psychology is by and large pseudoscience, but the answer to it is sociology, not the MRI gang.

Touting neuroscience as especially informed and scientific about minds is very brave.

I’m not going to watch more than a few seconds but I enjoyed how awkward Beff Jezos is coming across.

I don’t recall having some sort of a wow experience like “damn, I’m a conscious human being” now ever, which kind of makes me question if I’m conscious even now.

I’m also in the same boat. But also, I think that we can only experience consciousness with our whole being, and there’s not much “compute” and bandwidth left even amongst fully grown adults - to verify if even the baseline “adult” consciousness that we’re experiencing is the baseline “real and complete adult state of consciousness” that everyone is definitely experiencing. And so we’re left to ponder some subset of the thing we want to understand and control fully.

I mean, the “consciousness” that you and I experience, as adults, are almost certainly reduced or different compared to what, say, Scott experiences daily. Neither you nor I (nor most people) can write like Scott can, but Scott bangs out riveting and beautiful pieces of writing effortlessly at least once a week and wonders why everyone else can’t.

Jesus Christ mate

God this is so fucking stupid. Aren’t these people supposed to be at least minimally smart in some way, like knowing about biases and things? And here they are trying to suss out the deep workings of conscious experience from the just-so narratives people have attached to their memories of memories of memories. Pathetic.

In October 2020, Klarna mistakenly sent a marketing email to people who had never disclosed their contact information to Klarna.

That’s, um, … Unfortunate? What an interesting mistake to make.

Oh good, a web design crime that never ends.

Fascinating, thank you. Love the Church of Euthanasia’s antics but I’m not surprised, it’s always looked very silly ‘n’ bad ideologically.

I can’t tell if Emalee and Subrina are special phonetic spellings for the robot or if this is what names are now…

I thought Tesla explicitly says you can’t do it on a normal road cause, well, it doesn’t fucking work.

Maybe officially Tesla does, but the feature is called “Full Self-Driving” and Elon Musk sure as shit wants his marks to believe you can input a destination and let your car drive you all the way through.

So, yes, Tesla should at the very least lose their business licence over this.

ah yes, it’s that marxist notion, the monopoly of the proletariat

Wow cool numbers, love to put all unions in one big bag regardless of goals, ideology, trade and mode of action.
