If you were into TTRPGs in the late 90s and early 2000s, you might remember a website I ran called the Gaming Outpost. It was, for a time, the biggest TTRPG site out there, was the birthplace of indie RPGs, and the early home of several now prominent designers. It went offline 20 years ago.

It’s kind of worse than this thread because Rationalists hold that monogamy is a now-illogical holdover from worrying about paternity. So, if you don’t want to participate you are providing evidence of your irrationality

A lot of these dudes need to stop worrying about AGI paper clipping all of humanity and start worrying about California employment law because this industry has the most obviously hostile work environment I have ever seen.

Buying into a ludicrous fantasy vision of how immigration stops function in the real world is a moral choice, not a matter of cognitive horsepower. You don’t have to be terribly bright to grasp that’s not actually how things work; you just have to care.

"James Talarico went on Fox News and publicly walked back his support for trans rights. … It is presumed as common knowledge that Talarico 'must' do this in order to have a chance of winning. A big problem for that idea is that prior to these comments Talarico was doing exceptionally well."

Many analysts (and most politicians) are allergic to acknowledging that some significant part of the electorate just fundamentally wants evil things. They must just APPEAR to want evil things because of some underlying rational desire.

This is, incidentally, ALWAYS where the anti-trans playbook was going to lead, because they fundamentally conceptualized being trans as having a mental disability, and every last scrap of ableism they were covert with there, they're mask off on now. They must be rejected--in whole. Hobbes is right.

The progression of certain thinkers from denying the validity of trans people to denying the validity of disabilities is a nice illustration of the way in which transphobic habits of mind can quickly evolve into a kind of acquired sociopathy.

The Lake America thing really drives home that the fundamental divide in this country isn’t left or right, it’s who sees the world and acts like an adult, and who wants to still be a child, throwing tantrums when they don’t get their way. It just happens to map well onto a partisan axis these days.
