"This month, a special series of Eruditorum Presscasts as Phil sits down with various guests to be interviewed about his new book, Neoreaction a Basilisk. This week he's joined by David Gerard, who read the book in 2000 word chunks serialized as Phil was writing it, and who spent time in the trenches of LessWrong and reading neoreactionaries before it was cool."

http://pexlives.libsyn.com/eruditorum-presscast-david-gerard-neoreaction-a-basilisk-1

Let's open the floor for discussion:

1. Cuck voice is a thing.

2. Fuck/kill/marry: Land, Moldbug, Big Yud

3. Sandifer/Gerard porn now?

 No.6663

I read the extracts he posted on his blog. The guy is retarded and doesn't understand Moldbug or Yud, let alone Land.

The book is pure polemic, by the way. Just moronic shitflinging with zero insight. His arguments involve stuff like accusing Moldbug of smoking too much pot while reading primary sources.


 No.6664

So this is one of those times where I end up feeling bad because I already dislike the guy after taking one look at that picture lmao… Saddest thing is that I'm probably not even wrong.

>looks like that

>makes fun of rationalists for being nerds

welp


 No.6666

I'm a rationalist, I think Phil is a cool guy and I'm looking forward to reading his book.


 No.6667

I guess I from reading his blog, Phil Sandifer sounds like a pleasant enough guy. But both David Gerard and Sam Keeper have said they liked the book, which seems like a very bad sign…

no man, it's like, a basilisk thing, these crackpots, just tying it all together, look you need to read it


 No.6670

Fuck Land, Marry Big Yud, Kill Moldbug


 No.6671

The plot thickens! It turns out that, after writing an entire book named after Roko's basilisk, Phil completely misunderstood the argument. Apparently he believes that Timeless Decision Theory is related to quantum mechanics…

You should be using Bayes rule. What's the probability that this guy is full of shit conditional on how he looks?

PRETTY DAMN HIGH!


 No.6673

It's a good thing you don't know how to use Bayes' Rule until after you've studied under Yudkowsky, then

An interesting review: http://nostalgebraist.tumblr.com/post/144132220029/nab-notes-sandifers-negative-evaluations-as

>And so, in the book itself, like one of the horror protagonists he discusses, Sandifer continually, compulsively – and less and less convincingly – says no, asserts that nothing is wrong, that he’s in control, that he’s not unhealthiy interested in his subjects, that he knows they’re wrong and evil (did you know he thinks they’re wrong and evil? let’s say it again to make sure), that he may be gazing into the abyss but – rest easy – it’s not gazing into him, that nothing is off here, dear reader, oh no, that the trio is just as dismissible as you thought when you began reading, let me just reiterate that once again for clarity, no there is not anything going on over there in the shadows –

oligospony deleted his tumblr. You can see the same thread reblogged at http://voidfraction.tumblr.com/post/144033084079/there-is-no-basilisk-in-neoreaction-a-basilisk

There was some followup discussion, and apparently the description in the book itself is more correct. But I still think Sandifer's comments in that thread shows that he had no clue about the basilisk.

Both links are dead.

Bizarrely enough, there seems to be another review with the same title, by a different dude

He insists that he isn't insinuating that Yudkowsky himself is a Neoreactionary, of course.


 No.6688

Now now, he might not be a neckbearded nerd. He could be a neckbearded Muslim.

Maybe ginger Muslims have a unique style all their own, but if you google "muslim beard" you'll find nary a neckbeard among them.
