  1. «midwit-bashing» is unwise. The worst kind of fanatic is still the dimwit, one who was elevated to the status of a thinker by public reward for agreeing with midwit-tier rhetoric. He knows nothing except what it takes to conserve this standing. Such is Bioleninism.

  2. Moral authority guides gut feeling which shapes narrative through smuggling in connotations; narrative feeds consensus, which informs world model, which restricts search space for input; biased sample justifies authority. Clear language is powerless: ideology is non-linguistic.

  3. Shame is a response to social pressure and guilt is moral category; yet on a gut level this is a distinction without difference. Arguing such distinctions without account of difference in gut feeling is an exercise in futility. Same with wrongness, cringe, injustice etc.

  5. Curious how much is decided by small incentives. Serial "retweetability" depends on text making sense with limited context, driving me to effectively write aphorisms. If parent posts were guaranteed to be seen, I'd be driven to trade context for more detail of the idea instead.

    Literally every tweet is gold. Yes, THIS is Cathedral. Hey why don't you make a short serious pamphlet on your horrorist political philosophy? You have a talent for brevity and clarity that Moldbug lacked.

    «Consensus procedure». What an underappreciated mental model. This thread is more insightful than most sociology textbooks.

    The point of educating laymen in logic and fallacies is not to teach them to think correctly, but to shift the balance in shaming power from people who use *rolls eyes* as an argument to those who can at least pattern-match to an example. Still exploitable, just by other actors.

    Population and ethics > politics. No sane set of rules can formally determine low-level decisions which actually matter; here we have to rely on social trust & character. Mandarin, CEO, PI, Editor and Commissar all can & will give a leg up to their allies and consolidate power.

    That's assuming some nice properties of public debate ("a free marketplace of ideas"), of course. The disagreement in policy is driven by difference in assumptions, and/or difference in values: either people don't believe the public debate is fair, or they rely on unfairness.

    UC Berkeley has publicized its rubric for assessing peoples' diversity and inclusion statements. You get 5 points for "Clear and detailed ideas for...advancing equity and inclusion...through their research, teaching, and/or service." Note word "research"

    "Cringe" is internalized social shaming. Not all things which society – or what one perceives as such – might shame are inherently shameful. But for a hypersocialized individual this is unthinkable. His "thinking about things" is downstream from reactions of people, i.e. cringe

    > If high IQ cows tasted better, these guys would have bred us a singularity by now. Or rather, Singularity by cow. A species-level antonym to suicide by cop.

    Twitter bio: «Population & quantitative genomics and beef genetics extension.» They mean business. If high IQ cows tasted better, these guys would have bred us a singularity by now. If cows could lactate forever, I bet they'd have solved death. Meanwhile, human geneticists...

    Read this: «I was asked to just let it slide into publication...Him publishing tripe (including literal lies...) is a good thing.» Academic accelerationism is approval of continual discrediting of academia to liberate inquiry from soft regulatory capture. We need 50 Lysenkos.

    I suspect this is a spin on "all are equal, but some are more equal than others" Orwell never saw coming. Civilizations are not foolproof, because fools are so ingenious.
