Nah they tend to just tell them to get the fuck out of the class they are disrupting, it has happened a few times now in the usa where random fasc types start to shout things and get chased off.
Wonder if the recent ‘i got my trans teacher fired for failing my paper correctly’ shit is going to shift that.
It is in fact the barbarians who bring the ‘debate hall’ with them, with the ‘change my mind’ or ‘prove me wrong’ shit.
I’m in the wrong racket
There is also this Rationality is Systematized Winning by Eliezer Y.
(Which has the glorious line: “Reason is just a way of doing things, not necessarily the most formidable; it is how professors talk to each other in debate halls, which sometimes works, and sometimes doesn’t”, showing he never went to university).

That is almost triple our prime minster gets.
Pua is a good example, as their ur text, the game already shows how predatory towards men it got, but they seem to have been annoyed tha the ‘sociopath’ dared to use their methods and fellow men and not just women. And that is if we see Strauss as a geek, and not a ‘sociopath’ (a thing he feared iirc when he revealed he was a journalist).
Iirc (was a while ago I read it) one of the big problems with the gms article imho is that it doesn’t really make clear that this is only talking about a specific type of sociopath (or in other words it redefined the term, so normal stuff doesnt apply. Rao’s Gervais Principle has the same problem. no shock there.), more like someone who hurts the subculture ingroup. That in a lot of subcultures the geeks are also sociopaths to the outgroup isnt really considered. (See as a big example, metal/rock or even worse their subculture: nsbm, the former are often quite abusive to various people (esp women, who often were not considered to be able to be part of the ingroup, but also general rockstar asshole behavior) and the latter case they are basically neonazis. But also just how much the article seems to dislike mops and strawmans them (oddly this part of the article also feels very much like he doesnt understand what actually goes into organizing stuff, as a minor sort of fanatic type myself who has helped out at things. Mops are fine, this ‘Fanatics may be generous, but they signed up to support geeks, not mops.’ is utter crap, it also feels a bit protoincel re the whole sociopaths sleep with the best mops).
Buy the dip, and the crisps.
Wonder if anybody has already informed r/slatestarcodex
I dont smurf any of this.
Guess who gave money to MIRI in 2009
Ow god im a fool, totally read over what that meant. Thanks, jesus fuck (and to think I mentioned the animal rights people).
Also just a very bad cult recruitment pitch.
Didnt the zizians also literally protest one of his events and got arrested for that? Or was that a different group they were protesting. Seems weird to not look them up at all. Very ‘ideological turing test’ failure levels.
Also funny that his logic would mean he doesnt look into Nelson Mandela.
E: also iffy he tosses the animal rights people (partially) under the bus for no reason. EA animal rights will love that.
Hello Yud this is your lawyer speaking. I am advising you today to keep posting this shit
Thoughtslimes video prob did more ‘damage’ to the Rationalists than all our posts combined.
Not sure if that counts, as we are all heretical disciples of David.
If I was trolling LW (which I’m not, I don’t have an account), I would reply with something like ‘yes, important to kick them out early so we don’t get a Free Zone situation’
That my fault, Im Bens former weed dealer, and accidentally sold him glue instead of weed. He liked it a lot more, and easily gotten in most stores.
I get it—calling AGI a conspiracy isn’t a perfect analogy. It will also piss a lot of people off [emp mine].
No need to oversell it, I already was onboard on the ‘it is a conspiracy’ bit.
And you know he has done some research when he brings up Ben Goertzel. (Who last I checked now really believes in parapsychology)
Goertzel did some work with Peter Thiel
Drink!
The only ‘debates’ are, when after a lecture somebody goes ‘this isn’t a question, more of a comment but …’ and then half the audience groans.
