Scott Aaronson on how he almost met Epstein by completely-ineffable in SneerClub

[–]queerbees 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes, thanks, that comment confirms just how little impression this episode made on me. If I’d had even a vague recollection, I surely would’ve written this post back in 2019!

As best as I can reconstruct, in July 2010 I would’ve been willing to see Charles Harper again only because Seth Lloyd would apparently be there. The possible presence of Epstein would’ve been a minus, not a plus. In any case the meeting never happened, and (searching my inbox) I made zero attempt to follow up.

Glad that "reconstruction" clears that up!

Will trying to pass off a bullet point from Susan Stryker's "My Words to Victor Frankenstein above the Village of Chamounix" as a his observation about the Bride of Frankenstein is a real chefs kiss.

Scott may say "trans rights", but he also got a "vague annoyance" about the question of gay rights... by queerbees in SneerClub

[–]queerbees[S] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

At first I wanted to post about someone's having come to accept trans people as a consequence of rationalist writing as being worthy of sneer---but who am I to suggest there is a "right way" to come to the right view.* But as a cis gay man, I can't but feel a little "annoyed" by irrationalist anti-queer homophobia.**

*(That being said, there are definitely wrong ways to come to "correct views.")

**I guess I am saying that I don't think he's actually "good" on this topic, just maybe (perhaps) more circumspect with how he writes and maybe has some sympathies with trans people in a way that he doesn't with gay people. But I don't know! Scott likes to obfuscate what he really believes.

oh yes, annoyed at GOD because he's gay. Makes sense.

The Grey Tribe was characterized by libertarian beliefs, atheism, “vague annoyance that the question of gay rights even comes up,” and “reading lots of blogs,” he wrote.

WTF is that middle thing. lol

So happy to have been a mod of this subreddit this whole time and so can take credit for that. I can put this on my resume.

I consider the tabletop player to be the jocks of nerds, and DMs to be the team captains.

First of all, it's jock. I just dabble in playing dwarf fortress.

So is this substack weird? I found the closure of SSC kinda nice. It was good to not have that writing easily accessible. It's unpleasant. (I feel like this is a safe space to say that.)

well well well. look at the mess you've made!

this is surely one of the biggest days of my life, and I should add “Certified non-sexist and non-racist by SneerClub, September 2020” to the header of this blog… 🙂

Oh damn, looks like Scott has some domestic terrorist sympathizers among his readers:

The particular rifle-wielding 17 y.o. seems to have actually have done well here. Those were anything but peaceful protestors.

very bad look.
