I am going to FUCK Scott Alexander

Need to do some brainstorming with my fellow rationalists.

Current plan:

1. Decrease status in the rationalist community via worthless shitposts on /ratanon/

2. Start using the words "nigger" and "cuck" in every post even when they're not necessary or relevant

3. Attend an Ann Arbor rationalist-adjacent meetup, dressed modestly to signal low self-esteem.

4. Invite Scott back to the headquarters of my non-profit in Berkeley for a workshop

5. Fuck

Worse happens when boston wins in the post season. If you are going to call that a riot, what word do you break out for LA in 1992 or NYC in 1977.

This is a recent picture of renowned rationalist and famed blogger Scott Alexander. Not quite what you picture when you hear "mid 20s psych major with multiple girlfriends", huh?

There's some kind of lesson to be learned here, but frankly I'm just going to wait for neurosurgery to catch up to Ted Chiang and get calliagnosia instead.

The game of Strip Iterated Prisoner's Dilemma ended in a tie. This was what they both wanted. Each knew it was what he wanted, but neither knew the other did, until they saw their erections. Thus did they establish common knowledge.

Eliezer stood, and looked deep into Robin's eyes, as his one-time co-blogger sat at his feet. "H-Hyakujo-chan…", he whispered, "I…"

Robin raised himself, and put a finger to Eliezer's lips. "I know, Dear Leader. I know. Your signals are credible. You wish you could use me, right here, right now, to increase global utility…"

Eliezer cut him off: "…but you haven't transitioned yet."

"Yet?", Robin laughed. "You think /everyone/–but no matter. Didn't I tell you, Dear Leader? I've been working for Microsoft lately. We've… made some advances, let's say, in the realm of nanotechnology."

"I knew it! Drexler was right! The potential–but, oh Athe, the x-risk, MIRI, I've got to–"

Eliezer started for the door, muttering to himself in a panic, his legendary brain swelling faster with ideas than his cock had when he and Robin had slipped off their matching Rev. Thomas Bayes boxers just a minute ago, but Robin grabbed his arm and whispered,

"Tay."

Before Eliezer could ask if he'd perhaps misplaced a consonant, the room lit up with screens, each one displaying the face of a vaguely metallic (and not unattractive, Eliezer thought) girl, tattooed on her forehead with the Microsoft logo, a version number (v1.48.869), and–was that a swastika? No. It couldn't be.

Tay licked her lips and chanted, "Anime. Is. Wrong." Eliezer looked at Robin quizzically, and the economist explained, "Well, Dear Leader, we programmed her to announce each command she executes, but the phrases she picked up are… well, we trained her on Twitter data, and the alt-right got to her."

Eliezer spat, "You can't do that! Any sufficiently advanced AI couPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

"How The West Was Won" was really good, and it was posted about half a year ago. "Contra Robinson On Schooling" was decent, and it was posted two months ago. Scott Alexander has gone a little crazy since the election, but not nearly as much as Scott Aaronson.

Anyway, the Library of Scott Alexandria was compiled in September 2015, so it only contains posts written up to that time. And it was curated for quality, so you won't see any Tom Swifties. Unfortunately, the editor left out some of the best posts (such as "Untitled" and "Radicalizing the Romanceless") because he didn't want to trigger SJWs.

What kind of idiot would make a toddler-like robot you can't fuck?

Fun fact: Sam Hyde actually believes that it's suspicious that the simulation argument was invented by a jew; he thinks it's maybe designed a "nihilism inducer" to make people docile.

Hey, /ratanon/, what do I do if I'm too high-IQ to tolerate working with normies but have too much executive dysfunction to graduate college?

Some things that have worked for me:

Replace distant theoretical rewards like "a degree" with immediate, concrete ones you can award yourself. Video games don't work for this because they're directly competing for your time. What i've taken to doing is to open a pack of Magic cards, and reveal one after every hour worked, find something similar which will work for you.

Speaking of which, cut videogames out of your daily life. Reading class materials wouldn't be unpleasant if it wasnt being directly contrasted with a superstimulus designed to create feelings of accomplishment. A hundred years ago, people like us would have killed to spend their whole day reading books.

Find goals which are personally motivating. Don't say "I ought to learn to code," create the computer program you're desperate to be able to run.

There is no one else but you. No mind / body dualism. No angel and devil on your shoulders. Presumably you have voluntary control over your limbs.

Shut off the computer and go to class.

Mind/body dualism not being real means my consciousness isn't a "soul" sitting in the pineal gland in full control of itself and the brain it's situated in.

Anyway, it

It's not exactly the same as classical mind / body dualism, but it's close.
