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 problem with this statement is that the picture of "girlfriends" in your head is the same picture from your fantasies; basically a lot of super hot bikini model/actress looking women.
It's easy to be a player if you lower your standards way low. There are lots of mentally ill ugly women out there. I had one lusting after me that I had to give the slip, and I'm no looker. If you're at least 6 foot and solid looking, it doesn't matter if you have a potato face. Ugly desperate women will read "emotionally deep silent type" onto your autistic persona and fall in love with you.
>tfw no gf
Is largely a phenomena of standards. Ugly psychotic women get excluded from counting as women. Men say they'll sleep with anything, but you show them a picture of an ugly woman, and they're like "Oh yeah, I forgot those exist. Fuck no."
Too often we focus on the asymmetric relationship between beautiful women and ugly talentless autistic skinny fat retard man-boys, but there is also an asymmetric relationship between ugly desperate women and potato head men with huge brains. If nothing else, intelligence is attractive.

And I'm not just reading stuff into her behavior. She was making up excuses to get with me. I helped her with her ferrets once, and then she wouldn't leave me alone, and kept randomly cooking me things and trying to get into my house and give me beer. Said her husband killed himself by hanging himself out the window.

How ugly is ugly, tho? If I google "ugly woman" or summat I don't exactly get a representative sample of the kind of bitch you're talking about.
The only girlfriend Scott's had that I know the appearance of is Ozy, and if I could have a girl who looks like that be all yandere for me I'd be so happy.

Ozy is a mentally ill girl who cut off her boobs, injects testosterone and demands to be addressed as "they" because she's "nonbinary"
She also cucked Scott with Topher

The ashkenazi maternal line is 80% European, so this is unsurprising. European Jews are barely a race at all.
If neo-nazis really wanted to cleanse this tiny minority within a minority of remaining Jewry, they'd promote race mixing, not decry it.

There were no children and they weren't married. I don't think the term is applicable. But some people just really enjoy using it. Maybe because it has got that sharp anglo-saxon thing going on. Or maybe because they are worthless edgelords.

>catch up to Ted Chiang and get calliagnosia instead.
Beauty is also used to oppress women, as a group. There's a body of feminist thought that describes beauty as a mechanism of control. This social structure has evolved over time to achieve certain effects, and one of them is to keep women in a permanent state of insecurity. Individual men might not like it, and recently men might have become more negatively affected by beauty standards, but overall they still benefit from it. Did that analysis factor into "Liking What You See" at all? Could this technology, like the Pill or abortion or automation, contribute to freeing women from social mores that evolved under agricultural societies and religious modes of thought?
TC:It definitely has that potential, the possibility of freeing women from trying to meet an impossible standard of beauty. On the other hand, in some circles it's accepted as given that beauty is an outmoded social construct, something that we, as enlightened individuals, can do without. But while that sounds great in theory, it's harder to do in practice. One of the things I find disquieting about our preference for beauty is that it appears very deeply ingrained. And when your political ideology is in conflict with your innate reactions, you've got a problem. When I was doing research for the story, I came across a quote that said, "Allowing beautiful women their beauty may turn out to be one of the most difficult aspects of personal liberation." I thought that was a very good point.

They're not, dude. I've only met one rationalist chick IRL, and she was pretty cute. Most seem to be either average or good-looking if you exclude the trans girls.
For example, here's a list of members at some Netherlands meetup with pics attached. Some are ugly, but some are cute, and some are average:
>https://www.meetup.com/Less-Wrong-Netherlands/members/
Even Ozy looks OK IMO when you realize he's just a trans guy. No tits because hides/surgeries them, no figure because deliberately downplays it + hormones (at least before the baby), shitty haircut to deliberately look unfeminine. Ozy also sleeps mostly with women and bi/gay men AFAICT.
Scott always dates ugly people because he was chemicaly castrated as a teenager. Dating is just a way to get free labour in exchange for putting his dick in a hole for half an hour to him.

Literally nothing. She and Scott had an open relationship, she banged Topher. A while later they broke up because she was cutting her tits off. A while after that she and Topher got more serious and they married.
Ozy had a gangbang at the wedding reception, Topher aint cucking anyone lol.

I thought Scott was in his early thirties? I mean, he looks busted either way, but it'd be more understandable.
That being said, we should probably lay off this a bit, can't have the moral high ground of complaining about his friends being totally shitty (which they are) if we just make fun of him too.
