I have a place where I say complicated things about philosophy and science. That place is my blog. This is where I make terrible puns.

      The other day I found out that "hbd" is banned from Slate star codex discussions because Scott considers it to be Nazi related https://twitter.com/halifaxshadow/status/890730374308929536 …

      I didn't ban it because I consider it "Nazi-related", I banned it because I'd rather people debate specific theories than movements.

      I mean I want people to discuss claims of specific human diffs, not the claim that humans differ, which is annoying combo of trivial & taboo

          Exactly. Key is whether there are important relevant differences in things like IQ and pro-social behavior & what evidence there is for them

          Making certain messy words taboo to force people to mentally unbundle them is my favourite rationalist technique. Use it at work.
