      "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

      the drive to close ranks around one's community, to believe the best of the people you like, to reject evidence that troubles or unsettles your worldview *everyone* does this, there aren't two "tribes" of people, the rational and the irrational

      this is an occasion for humility, for self-reflection, for a willingness to sit and listen to others even when you don't like them very much not for a pre-emptive declaration that you're a Real Rationalizer and the others are Low Decoupling Hysterics

      and the inability of the rationalist community to see a sexual assault crisis in their midst and not think, wait are we just acting like literally every single other old boys network here it betrays the very mission they supposedly stand for to see the truth, more clearly

      A reminder that while Scott himself did not go this far in his own response, the first time Kathy Forth tried to #MeToo the Bay Area rationalist community, people said *to her face* that they didn't believe her because high-IQ men don't commit rapehttps://twitter.com/arthur_affect/status/1009913657898164224?s=20 …
