These kids really think if they pick up some trailer park rock candy they can become Paul Erdos. Hate to say it lads, he was simply built different.

some rat-on-rat friendly fire

There’s intense arrogance to insisting that your existence is too fragile to be shown to the world, while also believing that you are what needs to be injected into the human vat of lifestream, while looking like the byproduct of a 12 year old who snuck into his dad’s liquor cabinet and fucked around with the Skyrim character creator. Doubly so when you have the mental discipline of a literally sophomoric dilettante, or when it’s unclear that your personality genetics would translate to someone the rest of the world would want to talk to for more than a few hours.

in what i assume is part where he talks about why no one wants to fuck rationalists (i’m just skimming this shit)

This is 10000 words to promote being a garbage person, what the fuck.

When the average rationalist screed looks like this, I assume the reason they’re so absolutist for freedom of speech is because they never actually read each other’s speech.

Absolutely legendary sense of humor, that beautiful man. The only time a person I didn’t personally know has died and I was legitimately crushed.

Hurling ordure at the TREACLES, especially those closely related to LessWrong.

AI-Industrial-Complex grift is fine as long as it sufficiently relates to the AI doom from the TREACLES. (Though TechTakes may be more suitable.)

This is sneer club, not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

[Especially don’t debate the race scientists, if any sneak in - we ban and delete them as unsuitable for the server.]
