One of the reasons I have no hope is seeing all these clueless blue check accounts going to bat for a eugenicist because Nerdy White Boy Write Good
It's this same sense of helpless disgust in the pit of my stomach I had seeing the #JeSuisCharlie circlejerk

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

Ah yes, the dude my ex quotes when he wants to challenge medical diagnoses and recommendations with random but "rationally framed" shit he read on the Internet.

Did you know Scott's friends started a whole fucking grift over this https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/MetaMed

"Unqualified nerds give you medical advice based on their general ability to search the Internet and interpret things rationally" I am amazed everyone involved got out of this as unscathed as they did

I am amazed that anyone who knows enough to know what MetaMed was and how it all went down has *any* tiny shred of respect for this community It's this perfect storm of being just as incompetent as it is unethical as well as overall insufferable
