reposting David’s repost of Scott Alexander’s leaked neoreaction and race science emails

Jump

  • Don't forget the:

    • Vile dose of racist ranting.
    • Simultanously complaining about the elite, but then saying it's only because it's been watered down by the plebs.
    • Vile understanding of "poetry" as status marker.
    • Not going back further in time than 19th century, and extremely suspiciously marking the "height" of peotry between 1920a to mid-1960s, not at all coinciding with the civil rights act.

    Thank you for reminding me how vile Moldbug is ? ^^

    • The LLMentalist Effect

  • Not sure about the people who “are or think they are intelligent” being more susceptible to the con.

    It feels like something one wishes to be true for karmic/poetic reasons rather than something that actually IS true.

    I think good marks for the LLM con are more generally doubtful of the value of human intelligence/labour/education and/or tech positivist rather than true believers in their own intelligence.

  • The irony of crediting Moldbug with a potent explanation for bad poetry is rather amusing. It's almost a shame that Scott here cops out with a "The margins are too small for my proof", although maybe it is secret mercy.
