For the analogy to work, the victim would have to rape herself. Lotta rationalists appear to be bad at basic logic.

No, Scott went part-way, the NYT intended to go all the way. Works fine.

So the victim would have half-raped herself? Still not working for you, dude.

Scott never published his real name on his blog, he merely made it possible to find it with some sleuthing. Lots of SSC readers never knew his name, because they didn't do so. The ability to find his name with sleuthing was never Scott's concern. 1/3

His main concern was that patients could find his real name and his secondary concern was that crazy people could easily find it. 2/3

now, why would scott alexander siskind not want his patients to find that he used their cases for general entertainment of his blog readers? that's somewhat a mystery to my, but perhaps you have some insight here…

It is fully consistent with APA guidelines to publish anonymized cases. If you have information that he didn't do so, you should report him to APA. But surely you are just a troll.

It's not about whether he committed a formal APA violation, it's about whether his patients might have been offended if they'd known the way he talked about patients on his blog, and if they'd have had a right to know about him doing so before going to him for treatment

yeah when you put it like this, "do siskind's Black patients have a right to know that he thinks they are genetically inferior" seems like a pretty straightforward question to answer

Even if you insist on pretending the dogwhistles are completely inaudible and you leave race and gender and so on completely out of it, Scott's general attitude of bemused contempt at irrational dumb normies is very off-putting in a mental health professional

This is one of those things where arguing about it isn't gonna be fruitful, because his fans tend to cite the exact same passages I think vividly demonstrate said bemused contempt they cite as illustrations of deep humanist empathy

I feel like the people who say Scott demonstrated great "empathy" on his blog are wrong, and not just that but hilariously and utterly wrong, and in a way that vividly demonstrates how narcissistic this kind of thing gets

They find him super "empathetic" because he empathizes WITH THEM, and performs that empathy at great length and with great florid passion And then they wonder why no one else being talked about feels the empathy Like someone in a hot tub on a snowy day asking "Why are you cold"
