He therefore holds the view that Scott thinks of as deeply compassionate ("Just give them money and stop hoping they'll be able to do important jobs") You don't have to specify Black poor people for this to be a noxious attitude about poor people

Correct. Scott believes AI and other technology will take our jobs (so he is pessimistic on training) but cooperative (we need to take care of people). Murray is pessimistic on training because he believes people are dumb but believes they should be taken care of.

The most astonishing thing about the "rationalist" subculture is how blatantly their hypocrisy flies in the face of what they explicitly state they're about Overcoming bias, and seeking objectivity, and epistemic humility They NEVER apply this to themselves

Dude if you were actually a "rationalist" you would at least listen and consider what I said when I told you what you said wasn't what you thought you said Accept that your own thoughts aren't completely transparent to you and that you can make mistakes in how you express turn

They say all this shit about "overcoming irrational bias" and then they think it's IMPOSSIBLE that they themselves have a bias to overcome! That if someone tells them "You know what you said is racist even if you don't see it yourself" it's some kind of oppression!

I think a lot of the "cancel culture" stuff is - ironically - about avoiding a free and open debate about people's actual beliefs. They want naturalize racial inequality through innuendo, without anyone pointing to the obvious historical precedent for their arguments.
