Anti-natalism isn't dangerous because it is absurd; it is dangerous because it isn't. It is an ideology that leverages altruistic intent to deny others their most fundamental desire: to live. New essay! Preview and link in the comments.

This one. Do NOT watch the ashton kutcher twin film, that one is BAD. You want the Fassbender one. Trust me.

Everyone should watch Steve Jobs. It’s Sorkin’s best movie by a mile and it’s criminally under-appreciated. It has everything that makes his dialogue great (rhythm, musicality, tension, wit, etc) but with fewer of his annoying tics.
Aaron Sorkin’s idea of smart dialogue is people smugly saying trivia at eachother and scowling until one of them’s clever meter is full and they do their ultimate clever boy limit break move and win the conversation.

I get it, they made a bad chart. Can you all stop posting that one screenshot and tell me if my job will be replaced by an anime AI goth girl in 6 months?.

Any sufficiently advanced verbal IQ is indistinguishable from math IQ.

Hmmmm, okay, this made the whole nonbinary stuff click in a way that it never has for me. If I woke up tomorrow in a female body I would suffer very intense dysphoria. It would be funny for like 10 minutes, max. Tis odd to imagine what it would be like to not care.
@lovabler0gue i feel like a person playing the role of woman because i got a female body, but i feel like if i woke up with a male one tomorrow i would just play a man with equal (non-)attachment to it.

The process of discovering truth is really hard, really complicated, and often fundamentally reshapes your brain into this alien monstrosity who cannot relate to the folks you must now relay this truth to. Embrace the popularizers. That your ideas succeed is what matters most.

Remember folks: it doesn't matter if you're right if nobody listens to you.
Finally read Klein & Thompsom's Abundance. Struck by multiple ideas treated as revelations that I and other market-oriented folks wrote about over a decade ago. Go figure.

ChatGPT has poisoned my brain and now that last sentence reads like AI and I hate it. Roon, fix the writing style already gdi.
One of the worst tendencies in online argumentation is to undermine a basically persuasive central argument by also raising a lot of dubious secondary arguments. It's not only overkill, it's a net negative.

I feel like I’m seeing multiple posts disparaging things as “Reddit”, and like, not to defend the cringe soyboys, but y’all do realize what website you’re currently on, right?.

The spoken word is one dimensional. The written word is two dimensional. The written word with footnotes is three dimensional.

Ya know, in retrospect, it’s obvious that socialization is inherently a positive externality service. When you socialize with another person, you only capture half of the value generated. On avg, you give as much as you take. As such, it was only a matter of time for technology.
4o sympathizers thread. Too dystopian and grim to call them oneshotted . OP was my other quote tweet, making a petition for 4o to never be removed. The responses:

Hence, you would strongly disprefer the world that results from universalizing a maxim of never having kids unless it serves your desires. Ergo, you have at least some imperfect duty to have children. The limits of said duty are left as an exercise to the reader.

But it turns out that if you just leave it up to pure individual desire you get runaway collapsing TFR and it seems that the economic and social consequences of that will be pretty severely negative.

This is, in a sense, a new moral discovery of the 21st century. 50-75 years ago you could have said: “No, it’s fine if only the people that *want* to have kids have them, but those who have less desire have no duty to procreate”.

You have an (imperfect) duty to have children for the same reason you have any other duty: because you wouldn't like it if everyone else shirked said obligation.
My great-ancestors are dead. They care nothing about whether I procreate. My producing children does nothing for them. Because they are dead. This widespread view on the right that people have some kind of moral obligation to have children strikes me as a denial of death. I've.
