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

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?

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

Maybe it's because I'm autistic or something, but I honestly don't understand your way of thinking about this. Your ability to harness clout with such tactics speaks ill of humanity. We aren't going to make it through the Great Filter because of people like you (on all sides).
