Stubsack: weekly thread for sneers not worth an entire post, week ending 10th November 2024
  • For any drive by readers who slightly want to know more background about some stuff: Why Richard Feynman wasn't a great rolemodel.

    (more context for the drive by readers, Feynman is often held up as a great man in STEM circles, and even more so in the world of LessWrong Rationalism. (Which is fine if it is about scientific achievements, but it often goes beyond that as here in their page on 'traditional rationality')).

  • JD Vance outs himself as an SSCer, SSCers react
  • If that “Kolmogorov Option” exists it’s only because you’re in a decently liberal society.

    This would be very damning for what Scott is saying and implying here. (yes, im going a bit more conspiratorial here, esp considering his like of NRx (can't recall if the leaked emails are around this period, but I feel like they were a few years later)), but I doubt Scott did that much research or read that deeply into it.

  • Apparently for all the cosplaying of alt righters going Russian Orthodox, not that many actually go to church. ( Which is an important part). Thankfully for the priests who would have to deal with the madmen.

  • I think that is a reference to the 'eat 1 cookie now or wait, and get 2 cookies' childrens thing. Racists refer to it often. (This also means the black eat the 1 cookie kids can't build empires bla bla bla).

    (when I search for the term on youtube, it instantly gave me a video linking it to cultural degeneracy for example. Really annoying you can't block channels properly. Also the mises institute has a video on it)

  • Quite the proof he no longer writes his own tweets. Fun fact seems like they created various freerossdayone cryptocurrency tokens, who are all doing badly (according to my quick google) he has lost the mandate of heaven.

  • The point of this post is ssc. Not vance. The problem is you.

    Sneerclub is a point and laugh at the radicalizing Rationlists place not complain about the gop place. (And if you dont know what that is read the rationalwiki (not related to the Rationalists) on lesswrong).

  • your Bayesian yacht is an outlier adn should not be counted
  • Wait, they replaced the two masts with one double sized one? That seems a bit unwise.

    Most of the time, though, the Bayesian operated like a motorboat, powered by two enormous diesel engines. During her five-day voyage, Ms. VanSickle said they sailed only once, for just a few hours. But when they did, the boat moved through the water so smoothly, she said, it felt like they were “gliding.”

    Yes that is how sailing often feels if the water isnt choppy.
