@razibkhan complains that scientists all bend the knee and say whatever the Wokes want them to say, even if it is scientifically incorrect, because they are fundamentally selfish cowards.https://www.gnxp.com/WordPress/2020/12/18/being-right-being-agreeable-being-nice/ …

Science cannot function without a Christian society but this case more illustrates that academia cannot function if it admits women. Razib's story would be familiar to any teenage girl - that's how women-centered cultures function.

Science flourished in Pagan Greece & under Islam during its so-called Golden Age. Christianity stifled science until about 1600 CE. Science works best in societies with weak doctrinal oversight & that permit liberal free expression & inquiry.

No society has "weak doctrinal oversight" - you just can't see progressive doctrine b/c it's like water to a fish. Christian society solved this by having doctrine concerned with spiritual truths rather than material truths. Congrats on repeating prog doctrine though.

A variation of Yudkowskian rationalism that had been less vulnerable to getting cordycepted by progressivism could have done even better (elevate the provably true (!) Laws of probability and game theory to fill the God/spiritual-truth-shaped hole, instead of a fake God)

All religions have a truth determination mechanism and if you deny the dominant religion's mechanism, you're a heretic. Either Yud's rationalism was going to get cordycepted or it was going to be outlaw. Temperamentally Yud never wanted to reject progressivism anyway.

Mistake vs conflict interpretation - bad rules of reasoning didn't arise by *accident* - they arose because they're weak to

Huh, he makes an excellent case as to why you should never believe a single word he's ever said.
