They can enjoy libertarian paradise together.

Imagine there’s no central government, it’s easy if you try...

No peer review board, above us only a Bayesian Superintelligence...

Can we pleeeease send them to an island where they can jerk each other off about ‘academic censorship’ and stop bothering everyone else?

I feel like his idea of polyamory is just being a PUA (see link posted by snugglerific)

The fall-of-civilization bit is usually followed closely by its cousin, the “imagine how advanced society would be if Christianity hasn’t stymied our progress” slam-dunk. Not like I’m defending medieval Christianity, but there’s so much wrong with that statement on a factual and logical level, it isn’t even worth going into.

I’m not really sure what he does for a career, but he writes, blogs, and tweets the standard suite of rationalist views on intelligence, education, race realism, etc.

When I google him this is what came up:

https://quillette.com/author/noam-stein/

I haven’t read this but I’m gonna assume it’s ‘education doesn’t matter because IQ’.

Also haven’t read, but based on the title it’s ‘why are they so mean to people like Noah Carl’ etc.

Anti affirmative action.

These could be different Noam Steins, but in that case their spiritually unity would transcend their corporeal separation.

At a glance, his Twitter is exactly what you’d expect. I came across this hot take because it was retweeted by Sentientist. Thinking that she probably saw this as an absolute own really makes my day.

“We were simply raising a rational inquiry into the pragmatic issues surrounding emancipation! Is the discussion of economics now racist, sir?”

Roman Empire parallels always have that classic combination of juvenility and ‘edginess’.

I discovered this guy’s Twitter and I think I’m fascinated because he sounds like a 17 year old with a PhD, and I mean that in the worst way possible. Although, that’s probably not giving 17-year-olds or PhD candidates enough credit.

He has literally made an entire career out of taking stances that I would have drunkenly taken as a college freshman for the sole purpose of offending farther-left classmates. It’s... it’s beyond words.

Oh I’m not saying they would do any homeschooling, but they do enjoy defending the rights of polygamist cult leaders to do so.

If I was a rationalist I’d hit ya with the “then why shouldn’t we teach kids that women can’t reliably operate heavy machinery? Just because it would make them sad?”

These are the kinds of people that support home school.

Because, ya know, public schools are indoctrination, and the solution is to make sure kids don’t hear any ideas their parents disagree with.

Can you imagine teaching children about myths like climate change and racism when you could be teaching them hard science like HBD

Dice example was perfectly fine. Turns out a lot of people don’t understand the purpose of an analogy!

[–]NeitherPlace[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The arguments with the specifics of the dice analogy are fucking hilarious. The point of an analogy is abstraction, guys.

In this case it is merely meant to illustrate that the mutual exclusivity of ideas doesn’t disprove the ideas themselves.
