(I don't actually know what funereal-disease's writing is like because she's boring and not important)
sineslavatorem is basically a retarded thirteen-year-old negro who pretends to be a "rationalist" and gets praised basically for no reason other than having a huge black cock and fucking all the rationalist women who are horny for retarded race-mixing. also absolute maximum le cringe.

The people mentioned here have potential, and I'd love to see their writing improve. What holds them back is similar to what holds Eliezer back– the writing often draws attention to itself (and the writer) rather than the content.
It's infinitely tiring to read something with underlying self-involved messages like "Look at Me, I'm Smart/Cultured/Funny/Well-Read!" or "I'm X, Validate/Accept Me!".
Gwern is an example of someone who escapes their own insecurities and is a pleasure to read. The site not being a blog probably helps too.

While Gwern is the father of several of my children, I'm afraid I have to disagree with you a bit; while you are possibly correct about why the other blogs aren't that great (I don't know, I haven't read them), *Gwern's* style is held back by being so darn bland. I want to read Gwern's essays because the subjects are interesting, but goddamn is his prose lifeless.
His posts are typically less tedious when he's talking more candidly about some less acedemic interest of his, or editorializing. However, given his later letters to jack0fnone (https://www.gwern.net/Blackmail#jack0fnone), I'm not entirely certain he's capable of writing in a truly engaging way, like Scott or Eliezer. I don't think he has it in him at the moment, and maybe he never will. (I think this because he describes those letters as having fun by affecting a persona, but the resulting persona is trite, so it is unclear that allowing himself to have fun while writing would allow Gwern to write with decent voice)
Gwern is still my third favorite rationalist, though. I haven't read most of the people in the Venn diagram so far, but I'm still confident he ranks above them, coasting on the strength of his intellect & diligence alone. Gwern if youre reading this i love you marry me

I'm going to indulge in some pleb-tier-"rational" venting and say: I'm sick of filler news stories and clickbait raving about the amazing feats of people/methods who predicted every presidential election in some pathetically short length of time.
https://archive.is/WOoGx
Holy shit, an elementary school class predicted a whole twelve elections! There'd literally have to be thousands of classes for that to come up by chance!
If only I'd invested $40.96 back in 1968, by now I could be the star of articles about my "Magic" Penny that Somehow Called Every Election Since Nixon.
…Unless I'm reading the headlines wrong, and there was actually an elementary school class who managed in 1968 to predict every President out to 48 years in the future. That'd be pretty cool.
Also fuck Google.

Do you think Deiseach has big tits? I've tried but I can't imagine her in a sexy way. There's something matronly that comes across from her posts. I estimate her age to be 35. I think she might be a good looking woman in theory, but I imagine she has resting bitch face. Perhaps if you are into femdom.
Nonetheless, I find her highly ideological posts strangely compelling and think she would make a fine Queen.

Doubtful. I recall Deiseach writing a comment about being flat and unattractive. And about hating the idea of being hit on. Bet it's sour grapes.
