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.

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?

YES I know this is a meme among the freeze peach crowd but YES, from a Bayesian standpoint, those who make a big deal about keeping secrets probably have something to hide

Also I'm not fucking stupid and I actually do read Scott's blog, apparently more consistently than you Everyone knows the big secret is "HBD" and "IQ studies", come the fuck on
