You're just gonna call him a eugenicist with no citation? Who told you that and why do you believe them?

This sounds a lot like you are lazily slandering someone in order to avoid having to treat them as a human being. I'm open to Scott being a dirty eugenicist. I haven't read his whole blog, just parts of it. Make the case for real.

But, in general, I don't think it's possible to be passingly familiar with Scott's blog and not know that one of his hobbyhorses is "IQ realism" and biological determinism, and the distance between this and eugenics is at best a hairsbreadth

what i think outsiders don't get about these people is the degree to which they're driven by a formative emotional experience, one i and many others share: finding your people

the experience of being painfully smart and painfully lonely in hs, then one day, in college or on the net, finding other nerds who are smart like you and lonely like you and have weird sf interests like you

and it just finally clicks: you have found your people. and they're *different* and *better* than all those idiots you grew up with (and still interact with, at work or with your family or whatever).

and then all this ideology comes after that, bayesianism, effective altr*ism, the singularity, decoupling, etc but they're all just fancy ways of explaining how your people are special and others are dumb

They've gone through SO MANY iterations of this thing where they try to classify the human race into two parts, a smart part and a dumb part, and say they're in the smart part and that's why everyone is mad at them all the time

They keep coming up with new names for the same fucking thing - "high decoupler vs low decoupler", "mistake theorist vs conflict theorist"

"Well I just have this special cognitive capacity of being able to argue about shit like it's a game without getting my feelings involved and apparently you don't so your being mad at me is wrong but understandable" Eat shit my dude
