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.

Yes, that's what a low-decoupling conflict theorist does, keep up

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

What I don't get is how you argue for using any tactic available to destroy your enemies, including disinfo, slander, lies and bullying, and then expect us to just accept this characterization of Scott with no receipts. Why should anybody trust what you say?

Yeah it's almost like I'm trying to exercise social power by ginning up an emotional reaction among people who already agree with me and are on my side and don't particularly care about winning debates with the unconvinced

I don't actually have any kind of Svengali mind control powers but a lot of other people who have history with Scott are fully willing to get on this bandwagon without interrogating me for receipts Maybe if he had more self awareness he'd ask himself why that is

I mean, fuck We're not holding a jury trial here and pretending like this conversation exists in a vacuum where nothing exists until it's been entered into the record

Scott's blog was out there for years, you apparently read and enjoyed it, and you didn't detect the faintest whiff of anything offensive about it Why should I spend effort debating with you rather than just "updating my priors" that you probably suck as much as Scott does

There is plenty I take issue with on Scott's blog. I'm happy to discuss specifics. But you're just out to destroy him by any means necessary. And now your ire seems to be turned toward me. I'm sorry for any offense I caused you.
