Carbon capture, small nuclear reactors. We stopped thinking big. To really solve climate change we need to do one easy, but big thing. Blow up the Sun.

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')).
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.
Still think this is a bit expensive, both on cost and collateral damage. Popularizing being your own helicopter pilot among the mega rich is a tried and true tactic.
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.
Think it is just a skill issue, they need to git gud.

Yeah considering various culture war posts are clearly still up, including ones calling progressives going crazy it all is a lot of plausible deniability.
Poor hungry kids also more likely to want to eat now than later. Big shocks, clearly this must mean the poor are deficient in some genetic way.
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)
Their grindcore coverband is called Earthcofffin Hopecrusher. Their 2 minute long album with 14 songs was pretty good.
