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.

"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

(I choked on the details for a sec here - it absolutely WAS his blog my super-rational that got used to tell me that multiple doctors' recommendations for my kid's meds were wrong and started a whole war. God damned motherfuckers. I may throw up now.

Yeah I hate these people so much because even if they had no broader effect on politics and culture at all they strongly encourage individual people to be shitty assholes in their individual lives

"If it's magically couched in rationalist language, it MUST be true!" I fully, fully, deeply agree. It's a fucking cancer in the hacker community; they listen hard to these messages.
