The Nostradamus play.

I still don’t think cortical electrodes should even be described as a direct interface. A direct interface would speak action potential and connect to your spinal cord, like Ghost in the Shell or The Matrix. I do not see a lot of people lining up to test what would probably entail having your brainstem dissected!

How much do I need to smoke to get in this level of naval gazing?

It’s probably half the training set, considering it’s based on scraped web and of all the web, there is the most web of internet atheist debating. Acres and acres of such web.

His initial premise is so damned stupid that there’s probably nothing to salvage so I’m not reading it. He gives zero credence to the idea that whatever metric he grabbed for men should be a linear correlation to IQ might… not be? Then ploughs on with an explanation that allows him to do Trans discourse. Fuck off with that.

Here’s an alternate theory: you only know about out trans folks. Trans folks will only come out if they think they’re likely to not be beaten to death. Therefore you will see more trans folks at IT jobs and fewer at construction sites, because IT workers sit in chairs all day and many couldn’t beat someone to death even if they tried. Plus having lots of money helps insulate you from the risk of ending up living on the fucking street. Seriously if this guy just thought about it for like ten seconds he’d realize his data was skewed.

Also, anyone who’s ever experienced being a teenage boy probably understands exactly how dumb Testosterone makes you firsthand, complete with specific stories.

Rhysider’s editorial comments come off a bit naieve and even a bit childish at times. His good attitude is sort of infectious though.

Maybe the difference is that Rhysider is doing journalism and Zitron is much more soapboxing. I’m hoping he gets the rants out of his system early (or maybe confines them to his blog where they’re more than welcome) if he’s going to continue doing interviews, because there are moments where he injects his own opinion after a guest answers and it’s a bit awkward. His interview with the Onion guy was great, but his interview with the SEO wizard was kinda painful at times, even though she had really interesting things to say.

Why did evolution give most males so much testosterone instead of making low-T nerds

Dude needs to crack open a biology textbook and read up on the rest of the animal kingdom. The Winestein-ian attempts to explain every facet of human behavior and physiology in terms of it helping humans survive is just dead wrong.

fabricating ties between LessWrong and neoreaction

Lmao

I knew the yarvin afterparty fact would come in handy later
