      The reason I don't like this post is that I was sarcastically using Eliezer Yudkowsky's cringey terminology about "bad actors in information space" to describe myself ("mindkilled", "black robes", "Dark Arts", etc.) Today I'd just say "low-decoupling conflict theorist"

      It was unpleasant to have random channer chuds share screenshots of this post mocking me as though the terminology was something I'd invented or was using sincerely But that's the only thing that really pissed me off about it

      If you think I should be ashamed of the fact that I have no interest in "the humble collective search for truth" as opposed to punching Nazis, you are completely wrong It's something I wish more people knew about me

      I'm on board with punching Nazis, actually. I just also want my models of the world to trend toward accuracy, if that's even possible.

      I want my model of the world to trend towards having nobody who threatens me or people I care about in it and I really don't give a shit about anything else As Karl Marx said, "The philosophers have described the world; the aim is to change it"

      We will just have to agree to disagree about the compatibility of those two aims.

      Look, I actually had this discussion AT THE TIME, with the mutual FB friend of me and Scott that led to this whole thing And in his very high-decoupling way he actually laid it out in very stark terms

      "I just strongly believe in a divide between thoughts, speech and action If someone tells you 'I'm seriously doing research that might lead me to the conclusion I have to punch you, but I'm not convinced yet,' that's not a reason to punch them You can still have a discussion"

      And I'm just like What the fuck No, that statement so clearly disproves your point If someone tells you "I'm thinking of punching you, I think that might be justified," THAT IS A THREAT You don't fucking wait to respond to a threat, you take immediate action

          To use more of Scott and Eliezer's beloved Star Wars references, when Greedo stands there talking about carefully weighing the cost/benefit analysis of taking you to Jabba alive rather than shooting you now, you only keep him talking long enough to draw under the table

          You don't fucking wait for him to decide You don't let him come to some kind of intellectual decision If him attacking you is *anywhere* in his "decision space" you cut that shit off by any method you have to hand, as fast and as hard as you can

          There's definitely a divide between thought and action. Speech IS an action.

          This is the part that the Freeze Peach crowd never gets. Speech has MORAL WEIGHT. We've collectively decided to privilege it, in certain ways, over other action with moral weight, but that doesn't make it "not an action" & it doesn't make absolutism a useful or coherent position!

          lol is Scott a behavioralist and/or solipsist? like, how is saying "I'm going to punch you" while Naziing your arm up that different from pulling your fist back to punch… speech is action.
