Sophronius

@Janfreterson

I am one of those guys who call themselves rational unironically. I try to be reasonable, which usually gets me accused of being a filthy centrist.

    This is what's wrong with the left. Even someone as smart and reasonable as Paul can't help but hate his own side more than the other team. It's the same instinctive bias that leads lefties to prefer Palestine over Israel. Madness.

    I found a whole family of them in my backyard. This one actually crept up to my door, not a fear in the world, so I picked it up with a towel for a quick closer look:

    And to top it all off and make the analogy even more perfect, well-meaning idiots then write long 'splainer' articles about how there totally is no difference between white and brown eggs... only to end with an off-hand note that okay well technically there kinda is.

    The five steps of an SJW argument: Step 1: “X isn’t real” Step 2: Disparage motives Step 3: Change definitions mid-argument Step 4: “lol” She is only missing step 5, writing “I HAVE A DEGREE” in all caps 🙄

    And, just to put this in perspective, the reason you're accusing me of being on the side of harassers and bigots is because I think the people who made the below comic are wholesome. If you'd just take a step back, you'd see how absolutely insane that is.

    's twitter comments seem to have entirely devolved into a perfect mix of left and right-wing lunacy. What did he do to attract this insanity? Is it just because he's a nice guy who doesn't block people, or is it something else?

    Speaking of odd libertarian beliefs: I strongly endorse the idea that we should celebrate success, but this notion that hateful people are all low-status losers is... really not great. Has Paul Graham never heard of Hollywood celebrities hating on each other?

    Apologies. That question is usually asked as a rhetorical curiosity-stopper. I agree your piece is much more reasonable. Still, lines like the one below are exactly what I mean. Who are these evil "statists"? What do you mean, "how very odd"? What are you implying here, exactly?

    I've tried to engage with "reasonable SJW twitter" recently, and I've noticed a recurring pattern. They don't defend the obscene beliefs that other SJWs hold, they just deny that most SJWs really hold those views. I guess that makes sense; it's really their only option.

    There are two sides to this argument, one cheering the comic on the left, one cheering the comic on the right. To think that the first group is wholesome and the second is hateful requires partisan blinders like I cannot believe.

    Ahh, the old 'guilt by association switcheroo'. Step 1: Say something ridiculous and offensive about an icky subject (teens having sex) Step 2: Wait until someone expresses skepticism Step 3: Express disgust that anyone would want to talk about a subject like that

    Hmm, let's spend two seconds reading through the actual article... gosh, it talks quite a bit about prostate stimulation. Didn't know girls had that. Learn something new every day, I suppose! "Gay sex is rape" sounds sliiiightly problematic. Maybe think about it a bit longer?

    Are you saying the article got the facts wrong, then? Because the article very definitely does say that the man was charged more harshly because it was a "hate crime", in spite of what you say.

    There are always people who tell me I shouldn't use rules of thumb like this one and that I should just study the underlying science instead. But the thing is, nobody actually does that, and if you did you'd just run into this problem:

    Off the top of my head, I'd say the below is a pretty good sample of some of the most controversial questions in the US right now - among intellectuals, that is. These are the kind of questions I'd like to see addressed in the media instead of "is global warming real or not lol."

    In this case, you're entire argument comes down to you assuming that I believe something really stupid. You could have saved yourself a lot of time by just asking me if I believe this, and of course I don't.

    You need wonder no longer. Ebert was always a puritan. I don't get why people worship him.
