It ain't honest but it's easy work!

I would curse your name, but the video was of such profound vapidity, that it's already gone from my mind ^^ (though a strange desire for mind bleach remains).
That is a delightfully ironic cover ^^, my headcannon is that someone in the distribution pipeline was intentionally taking the piss, surely no one can be that shortsighted; wait ...
I think the most bitter part is him taking pride in his "real life" intelligence and his condemnation of test takers as "lifeless bureaucrats who can muster sterile motivation". There is a callous hubris there, I suspect fueled by resentment of past interactions with quacks and/or holier than thou academics, the remedy isn't becoming holier than thou in turn.
Sneering is fun/cathartic, othering less so.
NOTE: As a mindless drone pencil pusher myself, prone to to investigate things that don't clearly matter immediately to the "real world"; I might be a tad defensive here ^^.
Through the magic of self-funded blockchain crowd combobulator (famously very low on greenhouse emissions) yet vitally out-funded through the commitment of big oil money (also famously very low on greenhouse emissions), any regulation or actual government action to address climate change is unneeded!
Truly a pair, paragons of ~~sustainable~~ web3/libertarian virtue!
and I’d say they only really work well for -20 to +0 relative to the designers, with a somewhat wider range for teams.
I read this as:「These feeble minds cannot possibly measure my intelligence ! It's over 9000 !」
This «I am very smart» lad must've received a disappointing score, which I suspect explain a great deal of his rant, humblebrag and all.
That or it is indeed satire (although too much effort as gone into the author's blog, that if is satire it's more sad than funny).
I think part of it is cargo-culting and/or esthetics, and the seduction is a bit more subtle, their betting markets formalizes their belief:
That if people believe something (they agree with, they aren't consistent with it), that thing is more likely.
Some might even have an actually "occult" interpretation and see it as a form of actual divination. Yud certainly appears to me to have that tendency.
Lifted lyrics from youtube comments, with commentary:
I wanna be software
Upload my mind
Take all my data
What will you find?
A disturbing rejection of humanity.
And a disturbing invitation for data harvesting.
I wanna be software
Binary heart
Infinite options
State of the art
A cry for help, for less emotion ?
I wanna be software
I wanna be code
Digital dancing
Upload my soul
Nitpicking, but code is also mere text.
A call for sweet eternal digital un-death.
I wanna be software
The best design
Infinite princess
Computer mind
I don't know that I would trust mortal hands to the design of souls.
Isn't being a princess as you live enough?
I wanna be software
Live in the cloud
Fictional system
Tell me how
Perhaps forgetting that the cloud is very real, not so ethereal and/or without impact/reliance on the "real" world.
[...]
I wanna be, wanna be, software
What will you find? (x4)
You can write me, you can be soft(ware)
You can make me however you like (x4)
You can write me, you can design
You can make me however you like (x2)
Song disturbingly in a electro "love song" lyric style (I hope i'm wrong).
Is this a "Please make me into your robot girlfriend" song ?
Quite the roller coaster of the author swinging wildly on both ends of the sneer line.
Both! He was verified before, but you have to pay for long-form posting. Which he really shouldn't given how much dumber, rambling and incoherent his long form posting reveals him to be.
Don't forget the:
- Vile dose of racist ranting.
- Simultanously complaining about the elite, but then saying it's only because it's been watered down by the plebs.
- Vile understanding of "poetry" as status marker.
- Not going back further in time than 19th century, and extremely suspiciously marking the "height" of peotry between 1920a to mid-1960s, not at all coinciding with the civil rights act.
Thank you for reminding me how vile Moldbug is ? ^^
Yud himself has been on this particular train for years. In one of his dath ilan fanfic blog-stains, he bemoaned the evils of our society killing babies with omega-6 nutrition bags.
