And this is their reply:

I still think this is hyperbole

Followed by ten thousand words that I’m not reading

Lol that money went to buy 20,000 copies of HPMOR

Thank you for doing god’s work

At this point I think there’s a pathological lack of insight going on with Zack.

Quickly recapping my Whole Dumb Story so far: ever since puberty, I’ve had this obsessive sexual fantasy about being magically transformed into a woman, which got contextualized by these life-changing Sequences of blog posts by Eliezer Yudkowsky that taught me (amongst many other things) how fundamentally disconnected from reality my fantasy was. So it came as a huge surprise when, around 2016, the “rationalist” community that had formed around the Sequences seemingly unanimously decided that guys like me might actually be women in some unspecified metaphysical sense.

Goddamn, what an opening. I really hope this is an elaborate troll and not someone driven insane by internet transphobia and the Sequences.

Not gonna all read that, though.

Both those comments are voted down and replies aren’t agreeing.

They weren’t when I posted them.

HN has its biases and problems, but I think you’re misrepresenting it.

No I’m not.

No, I’m linking the posts with the actual content in the OP.

Federating was a mistake.

God it feels so fucking good not knowing who any of these idiots are, time to ruin that feeling forever

From what I remember, EA was always popularized by rationalist culture for like two decades.

He made a big deal about how his career would be ruined and he’d have to stop his public practice if he was “doxxed”

Not after all of the “intellectuals” showed their asses on Twitter or in real life lol

Can only play that card as long as you don’t give away your hand by being a complete moron in public over and over again

Approximating numerical probabilities is required if you want to make coherent decisions.

I hate everything about this sentence within its context.

That’s exactly the same trajectory I had lol

The last decade has like this for me on so many levels. It leaves me wondering how much of the old world died and how much of it we were just blind to, or chose to ignore, in the past.

I have a friend who stopped taking his medication and went full on schizophrenic, and that’s how it feels when yet another person gets brain worms, except they’re not suffering from mental illness, just ego, resentment and dumb ideas.

Watching them some of them become grifters who actively infect people with their own disease is a trip on top of all of that.

P(Doom) is calculated by however you were feeling that particular morning.

These are the thoughts of the smartest people on Earth. If you don’t get it maybe you just aren’t that smart?

Techlords are coming to rescue with animal sex dolls and bots.

If this technocratic psycho was more concerned with actually contemplating the morality of the question, and less focused on rearranging the insides of a parrot, his takes might be a little less monstrous.

It’s always funny realizing those who think they’re asking the tough questions that others aren’t smart enough to consider only ever talk about the same handful of topics: putting down minorities, advocating white supremacy, whining about anyone to the left of Pinochet and fucking animals/kids.

Like that’s 95% of the content on the Motte or "I"DW.

Is he still taking clients or did he go full into writing for cryptofascists full time?

Lol @ the Scooby snack line

Evolution is when all of the animal fuckers die from zoonotic diseases.
