      Scott's "priors" are "Because of that, her brain just randomly made up horrible shit about perfectly innocent men who did nothing to her"

      His Bayesian inference is this is more likely than her story -- "Because of that, predatory men everyone thought were upstanding members of the community found her an easy target, and their friends were instantly inclined to help them cover up what they did"

      This is because Scott's priors are shit because he is shit (in a way that makes it extremely disturbing he's a practicing mental health clinician) And he's utterly mired in his own pathetically obvious cognitive biases about "nerds" and shit

      Imagine an alternate-universe version of this note that said "I'm a severely autistic girl who's bad at social cues and highly insecure But I happen to be conventionally pretty/hot so I got in with this clique of popular athletes and cheerleaders in high school"

      "And then a lot of those guys, because they were adept at social manipulation and had a lot of social status, saw me as an easy target and repeatedly abused me while everyone around them covered it up"

      "I was shocked by how blatantly these 'normal' people just lie to make themselves comfortable I realized that these 'normies' everyone respects so much are hypocrites whose worldview is based on social tribal signaling and not rational at all"

      "And because, despite myself, I was so attached to the status I felt I had by being close to cool athletic charming football players, I couldn't deal with the sense of betrayal and loss of identity from losing that, so I killed myself" Would Scott reject *this* story?

      I suspect not, because for all his issues with women I still think his biggest "cognitive bias" is his deep loathing and fear of an imaginary thick-necked troglodytic "jock bully" wearing a letterman's jacket played by Thomas F. Wilson in Back to the Future (1985)

      He said he disbelieved Forth's story because he knew those guys and talked to people who were there and there was a "full investigation" And yeah, sure, that's the same shitty story everyone tells But obviously he trusts those guys because they're his "fellow nerds"

      Kathy Forth's story is just the story about the nerd girl exploited and targeted by jocks/preps/bullies only the bullies ARE nerds And Scott's narcissistic worldview starts smoking and sputtering and throwing up exceptions at that idea

      "Rationalists can't target and abuse nerds because we ARE nerds We're not the kind of people who sense neurodivergence as weakness and who use our superior skill at social manipulation to get our way That's IMPOSSIBLE We keep all those people OUT They're all playing football"

          the thing that gets me about the rationalist community is this: i also care quite a lot about working out the truth of things and acting on that basis this matters to me, it's the project of my life and others this is the fire that was plato's fire

          but to me one of the key insights is not "the biological diversity of human beings" but rather the deep commonality of human beings that the frailties and mistakes and biases we see in others are based on deep human potentialities that we all share
