      Much like how cops are trained to shoot as soon as they believe a suspect attacking them is anywhere in the suspect's decision space? Yeah, that's been turning out real well.

      Yes, mocking some internet goofball’s long, tedious justification of racism is *exactly* like a cop killing some kid in a park for playing with a toy.

      My point is that being convinced that holding views you disagree with is "completely out of their decision space" is an unhelpfully high standard for engaging in reasoned discourse with someone. It's a recipe for building echo chambers, rather than an actual exchange of ideas.

      The purpose is to prevent evil ideas from being exchanged The goal, if you call that an "echo chamber", is to build a chamber that fills the world That's what "Never Again" means, it means NEVER

      It is not just *permissible* to refuse to give eugenics a fair hearing in the marketplace of ideas, it is *deeply morally urgent* not to do so It is a deadly and contagious societal virus that must be disinfected by any means available

      I wonder if LW stans would understand this line of argument if we analogized eugenics to a malicious AI locked in a box.

      The bizarre thing is Scott is really into the idea of "dangerous ideas" when he writes overwrought fic about concepts like "scissor statements" (dangerous memes that make people angry at each other that start fights)

      But he somehow can't generalize this to the idea of dangerous ideas that simply *make people do bad things* It's very telling how his obsessions run, in fact - the only thing he truly fears is people being publicly mean to each other and yelling a lot

      The "breakdown of civil discourse" is more frightening than the UNITY of civil discourse supporting a functioning, well-ordered society far just happens to be evil Extremely white viewpoint

      If this were the 1850s he'd totally be like "*Normally* I am a strong proponent of freedom of speech but when Southern state governments say they need to ban abolitionist literature to quell rebellions and riots we owe it to them to look at the data"
