  • Man I thought this was gonna be about the very real dilemma about what is to be done with ICE and other political vanguards if libs ever get power again while trying to come out the other side with some semblance of rule of law and respect for institutions. And the plain fact is that by weaponizing the government to the degree they have, the Trump administration has made it very difficult to ever return to a place where it's not weaponized.

    But her long winded defense of the doge boys undermines her point. They're not 'smart young boys', they're worms who's vile crime will stain us for generations.

  • This is a massive loss. At this point we need specific legislation. Insane to grant fair use to a for-profit copier that provides no benefit to the owner of the copied item and competes with it in the market. I cannot overstate how shitty this is.

  • He doesn't believe in Germ theory. He's utterly deranged. The grift is alternative medicine, but I don't know if he really understands that it's a grift. His bosses surely do, but they just want to inflict as much punishment on institutions as possible.

  • Had people concern trolling about this guy repeatedly on Reddit. It's like bro he was on the Human Biodiversity Institute mailing list and all but brags about race science at Harvard in his trump-fluffing NYT piece.

  • What's the Rationalist reaction to these developments? Are there any vestigial AI-fearers that haven't switched over to straight up Phrenology like Slatescott and are currently genuinely still worried about the apocalypse because of this?

  • Emphasis on used to. He worked fairly hard at becoming a household name, but ultimately his fame was pretty brief. Stallman achieved meme status, love him or hate him. Torvalds actually ships shit people use. There's just no discourse around Raymond these days, good or bad.

    Every once in a while someone trips over one of the pitons he's driven into the wall of FOSS to try and climb it, discovers his abysmal takes, amd everyone promptly forgets about him again.

    SlateScott talking race and IQ: very cool and truth seeking. Revealing SlateScott's powerword: what's the public interest in that?

    Guess who's having a big mad about Journalism again!

    SSC Reddit having a normal one, OP fantasizing about murdering their child, I guess?

    In which Scott (other Scott) can't imagine why committing a crime would lead him to be treated (gasp) like a criminal
