@soapjackal Why do you think this is the case? -
@HbdNrx cults. Very specific terrible ideas refined in cults speak to a type of person whose in favor of utopian death cults -
@soapjackal Doesn't sound quite right to me. I'd go with some reason related to tech/econ. Maybe I'll formulate later -
@HbdNrx where do tech and economic ideas come from? The places where smart folk gather and create is where the action happens.

@HbdNrx scott writes so very much. Almost exhausting if you want a proper retort. -
@HbdNrx and there are a good 10 or so posts where hes incredibly wrong but it would take 3-4 hours to eluicdate the logical errors per post -
@soapjackal He's usually pretty logical. I've been impressed overall. -
@HbdNrx its certainly not the worst of the LWers but hes not incredibly different from thier norm. -
@soapjackal a few slight adjustments (notably re taking a longer-term view on civilization) and he'll be just fine

@HbdNrx and that general leftist ratchet theory as developed by MM is rather weak. -
@soapjackal It seems reasonably true for the last few hundred years or so, at least, and it seems likely to continue until collapse -
@HbdNrx true as in sound and valid? No. Its a heuristic for describing why modernity is more weimar every day
