I will always have affection for rationalists - polyamory & research chemicals notwithstanding - because the way they constantly innocently reconstruct the gospel from first principles suggests to me that the Spirit is working on them & they are listening

They're the opposite. Look at Scott's mail to Topher as an example. "Well, reasoning from first principles leads us to believe in all kinds of crazy 'sexist' stuff but we can keep reasoning from first principles and just ignore that" They reconstruct the rules by demonstration

I like rationalists. But Rationalism only works when both sides/everyone plays along If one side is corrupt, won't change their minds, and is censoring you, rationalism is impossible without eliminating the people in power by force

You're right about the dynamics but you're wrong about rationalists. Disagree with
@0x49fa98 and Yarvin though - they're not quokkas - they know what power is and does and they're anxious to use it against their enemies and only refrain from using it out of fear.1 reply 0 retweets 3 likes -
