The linked post exemplifies the virtue of hazukashii, truly itai school hakushin-class yabai-style writing. In Japan they don't say "Rationalism" they say "クリンジ" and I think that's beautiful.

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.]

Such pointless orientalism, unbearable levels of cringe.
Jesus Christ, I clicked on this just to see the crimes against the Japanese language (since I'm always keeping an eye out for my own), thinking huh, maybe I can learn something here—
The virtue of tsuyoku naritai, "I want to become stronger", is to always keep improving
get the fuck out yud
Huh. I'd assumed that Yud misunderstood every concept he'd self-educated on to the point of squeezing something he didn't really grok into his biases, but he also misses the mark where he *has* had formal education (halacha) --
In the post first linked from that one, he says
"There’s no exemption whereby, if you manage to go without stealing all year long, you can skip the word gazalnu and strike yourself one less time. That would violate the community spirit of Yom Kippur, which is about confessing sins—not avoiding sins so that you have less to confess."
And he's *so close*. You can't exempt yourself from communal ashamnu because it's communal. It's not about avoiding sins as an individual, it's about acknowledging that we are a community and share responsibility for living in one.
A LessWrong nightmare, tbf.
(Also, Leizerle, kinderle, are you telling me you've never been stiff necked? Never given harmful advice? Never scoffed? It's a pretty general list, Yud.)
Did I win? Why yes, I did.

It's amazing that one can use so many words to describe such a simple concept. Astonishing lack of economy. I am not going to read or even skim that, I just thought it was funny that he was like 'I won, see?' and his proof is a dead link.
