The walled marketplace of ideas: a statistical critique of SSC book reviews
(titotal.substack.com)
Hurling ordure at the TREACLES, especially those closely related to LessWrong.
AI-Industrial-Complex grift is fine as long as it sufficiently relates to the AI doom from the TREACLES. (Though TechTakes may be more suitable.)
This is sneer club, not debate club. Unless it's amusing debate.
[Especially don't debate the race scientists, if any sneak in - we ban and delete them as unsuitable for the server.]
I think it's pretty telling that as aggressively Ratpilled as this writer seems to be (in that they still seem to be accepting rationalist framing uncritically, including a high level of discomfort in calling a spade a racist, as it were.) their toned-down critique here still cuts against the heart of who Scott tries to present himself as. Even if you interpret the subjective parts of this analysis as favorably as possible for Scott, the picture that emerges is still of a right-wing idealogue who is either hiding it or is in denial about the limitations of the worldview they've built for themselves.
precisely my point.
