      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

      So there's distance between Scott and eugenics? So far my impression is that Scott isn't sure about IQ realism or biological determinism and is seeking answers in available studies. Is being sure that these are wrong and bad the prerequisite to not being called a eugenicist?

      There's *rhetorical* distance, if the absurd wink-wink nudge-nudge of the "Kolmogorov complexity" thing was somehow actually opaque to you

      Did you mean the "Kolmogorov option":https://web.archive.org/web/20200115140200/https://slatestarcodex.com/2017/10/23/kolmogorov-complicity-and-the-parable-of-lightning/ …

      This is related to the whole "hide your power level" thing from internet Nazis. It's the same strategy. Scott encourages it in his community.

      Thus we can't quite trust his good faith.

      Personally, I don't think Scott is fash, but I think he fosters a community where fash can thrive.

      Exactly. Scott shows a huge lack of social or moral insight. He tries to be clever around Nazis, but Nazis don't win through reasoned debate. They win by reaching an army of insecure and dissatisfied young men.

      Scott built them a recruiting ground and thought smarty-pants nerds could keep them in check.

      R/slatestarcodex gave birth to r/themotte because a lot of their regulars were "making them look bad", and at this point r/themotte is fully r/thedonald with a thesaurus
