Hoydenne added,
Apparently Yud made a facebook post yelling at him can someone get the images lmao
oh shit, that'd be very useful, yeah. @Theophite ?
Oh, okay, it's a public post. Or at least one is.pic.twitter.com/rOXGKcds55
What is wrong with these people
As a former member, we used to joke about being a cult. Apparently some of us weren't joking.
It was always a cult. Literally always. The leadership was doing "ha ha only serious" and a lot, a LOT, of people fell for it. (I've been keeping an eye on LW and the various spinoffs for well over a decade now.)
Well, maybe so. I didn't come in under Yud, maybe he's always been like this. I spent time living in a rat house. I've *been* to Scott's house. I had good experiences with both, even though I do NOT want to defend Scott and am fully onboard with recontextualizing things.
Yudkowsky never hid it, he did the whole "ironic hyperbole" thing The Sequences literally do get treated like Scripture and he literally did say cringe shit like how he was the "sensei" of a "rationality dojo"
The reason Scott Alexander's star rose to outshine Yudkowksy's is Scott is pretty good at disarming people's initial suspicions about crankery He is very good at projecting the voice and affect of a "normal, regular guy"
His posts are so fucking long because he fills them with meandering aw-shucks I-dunno-what-I'm-talking-about qualifications and hedges, performing intellectual humility If you've watched Joe Rogan's show, he's basically Nerd Joe Rogan
If you've ever been infuriated by Rogan's "Well, shit, I'm just a idiot, but it *seems to me*" shtick, then imagine just that in prose at much greater length with bigger words
