      Arthur Chu Retweeted El Sandifer, Rationality Expert to the Stars

      As paradoxical as it may sound to say this about a 12.5k-word essay, you need to read this, because it sums up what I hate about Scott Alexander much better than I canhttps://twitter.com/ElSandifer/status/1363170201232146433?s=19 …

      Arthur Chu added,

      El Sandifer, Rationality Expert to the Stars @ElSandifer
      There has been some lazy criticism that I did not write about Scott Alexander directly in Neoreaction a Basilisk. I trust this 12,500 word essay in which I accuse him of contributing to multiple people’s deaths will address this issue. https://twitter.com/EruditorumPress/status/1363068029953835008 …

      I'd like to thank her for reminding me how the whole viral fight with Scott Aaronson began that moved Scott Alexander to post a histrionic incel rant defending him It was a massive self-pitying response to a geek girl saying she'd been raped by geekspic.twitter.com/Ko7ytHtCL3

          It is absolutely fucking intolerable that we have to have the argument "Is patriarchy that bad?" at all, but especially when Scott pulls it out talking to a rando commenter who is a WOMAN WHO HAS BEEN RAPED

          This is how my beef with the other Scott started too Scott Alexander's viral "takedown" of me with "In Favor of Niceness, Community and Civilization" - an argument there's nothing wrong with hanging out with eugenicists - came out of him arguing with one of his own commenters

          This commenter (@chrysopoetics) had just said that he was a marginalized and vulnerable person (PoC, from the Global South, queer, neurodivergent, trans) who'd thought the rationalist community was supposed to be a haven for weird nerds but more and more it was filled with creeps

          "Why should being a rationalist mean having to expose yourself to MRAs and eugenicists and race realists and neoreactionaries Why is your intellectual stimulation more important than my safety"

          And in response to this short comment - which was really not much longer than my tweet about it - Scott *laid into him* Launched one of those gigantic novella-length broadsides

          This one, which was much more personal and revealing than "Niceness, Community and Civilization" and has since been scrubbed, was in the exact same genre as Scott Aaronson's incel post "ACTUALLY it is YOU who make ME feel unsafe"
