      I had no idea who Scott Alexander is, but if at least a few of the things written in https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Scott_Alexander … are actually true -- including his apparent enthusiastic support for James Damore's memo -- I am VERY confused by why he is so well-regarded by people around me.

      Loathe as I am to “attack the source”, rationalwiki is pretty deeply uncharitable. Scott has written pretty prolifically, you’re much better served by simply reading his own words

      I don’t think y’all are terrible in general! I actually read your articles a lot! I think y’all are particularly uncharitable in how you describe Scott’s ideas, and you’re more interested in character assassination/otherizing Scott than you are in truth seeking.

      I read Slate Star Codex regularly, I think like two-thirds of the blog posts there are actually really good, and I also think the RationalWiki article is if anything excessively charitable toward Alexander.

      In contrast, any article that can, upon reading it, make someone like Dumitru (i.e. level-headed, progressive, agrees with Scott on 99% of things at the object level) dismiss Scott’s entire body of work out-of-hand has maybe just a little bit been designed to do so

      You're describing a lot of Scott's own articles.

      I disagree, so long as you aren’t adversarially choosing the list of articles. Scott’s whole schtick is picking apart arguments he finds to be unsatisfying, even if that argument lands on the side of enshrined orthodoxy.

      If you aren’t primed to his style, I admit it’s easy to pattern match his articles onto “evil outgroup”, because who else would possibly spend so much time discussing such taboo things?

      But I think that’s one of the, like, fundamental tenets of Scott’s whole grey tribe *thing*—that kind of gut-pattern-matching in the absence of careful reasoning is exactly what he’s trying to squash

      It is my position that the kind of detached, analytical, omnivorous "truth seeking" Scott supposedly aspires to is impossible and aspiring to it is a great way to lie to yourself about your own biases and commitments

          Scott himself talks a lot about this, while refusing to apply it to himself

          Seriously, ask yourself just why Scott applies *so much* charity specifically to neoreactionaries, scientific racism, and the like while withholding it from, say, Marxism

          If his thing is going after things he finds 'unsatisfying' that's not objective inquiry, that's substituting aesthetics for rigor.
