I wish I could write a tenth as well as @slatestarcodex. I have no idea what the upshot of this is, but it’s so uplifting I’m sure it’s true.https://slatestarcodex.com/2019/07/08/gay-rites-are-civil-rites/ …
Well it’s very funny and cute… I just re-read it, and I still don’t get the point. Probably my own limitation. Which thing did you see as a machine that eats which values?

Hmm, going through the comments, it’s clear that different people interpreted the post as saying opposite (or at least very various) things (and then got upset with each other). Maybe it has no broader point, and is just remarking on an amusing analogy.

To be clear, I don't think the post itself is endorsing anything so much as noticing something, but the thing it describes is a pattern in which old values are replaced by new values (with some of the less-contingent old values coming along for the ride). This can be scary.
