Or people could take away different things, especially since post-2014 (?) Scott approaches controversial issues much more cautiously and deliberately made known (Kolmogorov) that he was never going to fully honest around certain topics, inviting (deliberately or not, accurate or not) Straussian readings.
Ugh. These people seem sad and they make me sad.
Of course I ignore your warnings and proceed to read this shit from the beginning.
And before you say, as many people I’m sure will, that language changes or evolves and so forth: shall I presume many of you have no objection to being called ‘nazis’ in the standard twitter-left definition? Shall I treat all drunk sex as ‘rape’ because kidnapper-rape and frat-sex have the commonality of reduced consent? Shall I treat your remarks about this-or-that group as ‘hate speech’, or ‘violence’, in the form of speech? Clearly, we have some sense by which concept creep exists; by which definitions can be stretched dishonestly. That is what you’re doing, and you know what you’re doing.
Cool. Cool. This is fun.
lmao the paper has a comment section, this is next level science
Yeah I mean, TLP is a lot more perverse. His reactionary ideology pemeates everything he writes but he never comes out and actually affirms anything. The only rhetorical mode is critiquing the supposed psychological perception of theoretical persons. No statement of fact is ever made. Any opinion one could ascribe to the author is plausibly deniable. I find it despicable.
ideological overlap
Oh they absolutely are both infuriatingly coy reactionaries.
Here’s for instance a million words by TLP, and they all say “i hate women”.
I might actually hate TLP so much more, because he’s more seductive, better at that typical nietzschean flattery of the reader, and for some reason even people here tend to view him more positively.
It is really fucking maddening how people like Scott won’t think of morality, or politics, or economics, or really any kind of social or philosophical question, outside of the realm of the psychological. The history of the world can only be about overcoming bias.
I’ll be honest, Scott never gave me hives like a peremptory psychoanalytic reading of myths can.
Remind me, do we have actual proof that The Last Psychiatrist is a real person and not a persona Scott made up for his most unhinged bullshit?
can’t wait for his nuanced reading of anders breivik’s manifesto
Acausal sex, now there’s a concept.
Look up also extremely influential architect and noted fascist Le Corbusier.

The building also incorporates shops including an architectural bookshop, a rooftop gallery, educational facilities, a hotel that is open to the public, and a restaurant, “Le Ventre de l’Architecte” (“The Belly of the Architect”).
It was a huge trend after the war for a variety of economic and ideological reasons.
Look, I already knew Roko was a moron but this is outrageous.
It’s like these people are enforcing a facade of polite tone and measuredness as a way to launder literal intellectual terrorism! Dang!
He is transparently trying very very hard to start a gamergate and it’s pathetic.
The funny thing is: it would be either way!
Right! You’d think they’d want to actually try to look like rationalists, put the petty bigotry aside and bask in the race-realist camaraderie. But no, being a gay truly is beyond the pale.
lol these people are so much more vicious than people here holy shit. i can’t even discern what their problem is. babe please stop hanging out with fascists.
I’n not joking when I say he’s probably using an LLM to write this junk. It reads like it, and he’s already perfectly comfortable with illustrating his diatribes with embarrassing midjourney slop.
lmao he’s such a silly cunt
B-but homophobia is a social phenomenon. It’s not real (genetic)!
