Do you think Scott wants to have sex with his girlfriends but for some reason doesn't? If so, what is the reason? (No deontological reasons, please.)

>Too shy and timid to use his real name

>Hate media attention

Harsher in hindsight.

>>14978

Okay, you've give the reason. Does this mean your answer to "Do you think Scott wants to have sex with his girlfriends but for some reason doesn't?" is a yes? Scott can suffer from male feminist brainworms and be genuinely asexual.

>>14979

>genuinely asexual people are a real thing

Mostly the same things I believe outside of it.

Right now the leader of the movement is David Gerard

>>14874

imagine seeing males as a limited resources! how ugly do you have to be to not drown in dick ROFLMAOL

> those MRI papers

oh, you mean like the one that showed that trans brains TAKE the form of the target gender AFTER 6 MONTHS on hormones?

scott is asking about autogynephilia again

hi putin

I expect the next Ziz's "suicide" victim to be Sobet Carter also known as (psc/PlumOfDiscord/RobustHibiscus/Nis/possibly other sockpuppets). He is currently being blackmailed by Ziz/Emma and used by them as a mule for potentially-illegal operations (such as spreading libel)

I also half-expect another anon webshite full of nonsensical accusations against James Eddington (https://www.ishygddt.xyz/ aka squeegily) similar to the one Sobet put up a few months ago against Pressman.

>>14943

miricult.com was eight years ago. Nothing came of it. Why is that? Who was wrong?

>>14900

The Sequences are legendary for being a long slog, but Ziz's shit is the fucking Northern Caves.

What is going on? Is everyone fucking everyone else and accusing them of DARVO? Is there some weird combination of the social license and default-pity of being female with the aggression of being raised male that puts transwomen at the center of all of this?

And who exactly is being accused of statutory-raping who, who is doing the blackmail, and how were funds misappropriated to pay them off?

How did a bunch of weirdos with the maturity level of a high schooler manage to get their hands on this much money and prestige?

ITT: stereotypical EA AGP programmer t-girls from the room drawn in that mspaint meme resent a real male intellectual of our time.

Lifting lowers resting heart rate and blood pressure, which are correlated with anxiety episodes.

>Scott. on the other hand, has known very well he's walking on a minefield for a while now, and has been working to minimize his exposure to this type of issues for years now.

This really compromised his intellectual integrity by the end of his career.

>>14872

if you are a t-girl or any other non-straight person 0hpl is an enemy. even to non-straight nrxers he can only be a situational ally. a quasi-christian like him will sooner or later want to impose his values on your patch.

>>14873

As a matter of fact, I think Scott's career is not over.

>>14888

You've presented me a gish gallop of claims which are so anti-true that I am losing sleep over them. I have never experienced rage this intense in my entire life; I can actually feel slight nausea. I find myself wondering how you can even conjure up so many evil, slimy, bold-facedly inaccurate things to say. If you were as well-read in Eliezer's writings as would be required for you to be justified in having made any blanket evaluations of LW rationality, there's no way you would have conveyed your disagreement exactly like this, and I am lead to believe you are intentionally creating hostility for some reason, despite actually being oblivious to Eliezer's beliefs and the practices of the LW community.

And I still want to reconcile with you, calmly and peacefully, because I expect that my gut is probably deceiving me about your intentions. There are so many causes for people saying wrong things, and usually the cause is not bad intent.

What is that screencap from?

>(1) (a) Direct Technosingularity - 25%, if Kurzweil/MIRI/DeepMind are correct, with a probability peak around 2045, and most likely to be implemented via neural networks (Lin & Tegmark, 2016).

>(2) The Age of Em - <1%, since we cannot obtain functional models even of 40 year old microchips from scanning them, to say nothing of biological organisms (Jonas & Kording, 2016)

>(3) (a) Biosingularity to Technosingularity - 50%, since the genomics revolution is just getting started and governments are unlikely to either want to, let alone be successful at, rigorously suppressing it. And if AGI is harder than the optimists say, and will take considerably longer than mid-century to develop, then it's a safe bet that IQ-augmented humans will come to play a critical role in eventually developing it. I would put the probability peak for a technosingularity from a biosingularity at around 2100.

>(3) (b) Direct Biosingularity - 5%, if we decide that proceeding with AGI is too risky, or that consciousness both has cardinal inherent value and is only possible with a biological substrate.

>(4) Eschaton - 10%, of which: (a) Philosophical existential risks - 5%; (b) Malevolent AGI - 1%; (c) Other existential risks, primarily technological ones: 4%.

>(5) The Age of Malthusian Industrialism - 10%, with about even odds on whether we manage to launch the technosingularity the second time round.

I'm not a fan of anarcho-primitivist or far-right alternatives, but this specific description quite accurately describes the activist ethos.

>>14959

Animal welfare and climate change have been largely compromised for many years, which is sad given the importance of the field. Community building started well, but now is full of patronizing curators and activist types (think BLM or Extinction Rebellion).

Woke proselytizers obviously go after all cause areas, but causes requiring stronger skills are more immune to hijacking - though not entirely resilient, see: https://equitablemath.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/11/1_STRIDE1.pdf

I worry about all the noble EAs and the movement's fate. :(

>>14961

Guess what? Some of them already started ruining the beautiful concept of universal compassion by framing it as a "step forward from caring only about these evil straight white men" (despite the fact that men have a lower ingroup bias than women, whites have the lowest ingroup bias of all ethnic groups, and liberal whites are the only ethnic group with a negative ingroup bias!): https://nowthisnews.com/videos/politics/the-end-of-animal-farming-argues-against-factory-farming

Regarding "EA was founded by white men, because they're privileged and build on the oppression of other groups": https://8kun.top/ratanon/res/14806.html#q14867

If you fail to make a pinned thread containing a "Don't post dox" rule, you have no basis to complain when people post dox.

>>14172

I don't expect it to be common, and I'm wary of doing something as hands-on as making a sticky that wasn't there before I took over. I'll reconsider if something like this happens again. I didn't consider the possibility of someone posting dox before it happened.

I wouldn't ban someone for not knowing about illegible rules, of course.

The year is 2121. An upload goes to the town square of its mainframe and stops in the middle. Its hands are shaking with excitement. Its tentacles oscillate gently. Its feathers cycle through the entire visible spectrum every few subjective seconds. It open its mouth and says, "nigger".

>start doing something effective about the Rohingya and Uyghur genocides

How tractable is that? What would it look like?

How bad is Uyghur Islam compared to Socialism with Chinese characteristics?

How bad is it to begin with?
