This is an outstanding essay by Gideon Lewis-Kraus. It covers the history of Rationality and Scott Alexander's writing, the escalating skirmish between legacy media and Silicon Valley, and how the two fit together on both the level of ideas and of tribes.https://twitter.com/NewYorker/status/1281278863000076289 …

My disagreement with this is more normative than substantial. I think it's a good idea to disarm weapons used to bully nerds (e.g. "read the room") but not to focus too much on nerd oppression. That's playing into the oppression Olympics — itself a tool for bullying nerds.

My issue with the quoted claim is that it's false, and I don't really believe that anyone who'd claim otherwise is speaking in good faith if they've actually spent time with the people they're talking about.
