      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.

      It's just kind of weird that you'd bring this up in a thread about why Scott should be "silenced". So, does being careful not to say things that might get him silenced actually count toward the stack of reasons to silence him? Like, he was right about you, so he must be silenced?

      I don't think he should be silenced. The NYT shouldn't publish his name.

      He should be afraid of people being mean to him because his views are shitty because that is what happens when you live in a society That is how a society defends itself from evil ideas

      He can call it "silencing" if he wants (and he has built his whole personality around the idea that "censoriousness" is a great and horrific evil) but fuck him

      there are actually people who get silenced regularly; prisoners and sex workers are at the top of that list. but if your literal definition of silencing is "lots of people secretly agree with me but i don't have a prestigious think tank sinecure" then seriously fuck off

      I should make it clear that I prefer the scenario where Scott stops practicing as a physician and still has his stupid blog to the one where he deletes his blog in a huff but still keeps treating patients for his day job But I'll take whatever I can get
