I REALLY don't wanna rank rapes, but isn't frat rape an archetypal rape? It's unambiguously terrible to the point that the only defense the perpetrators can mount is that it didn't happen. This is like decrying the expansion of murder to include defenstration along side the more traditional bludgeoning and stabbing.

I too believe in race science, but only a teeny weeny bit

That's because the HN poster I quoted, like many many MANY people, has conflated predicting iq based off of genes with heritabilty. I'd recommend reading the linked substack, the author's much more succient and knowledgeable than I am, and I wouldn't want to misrepresent his point

In particular, two semantic tricks are used. First, the fact that current genetic markers aren't a good prediction for IQ heritability is used as an argument against it. The other likely explanation that our understanding of those markers is widely incomplete is not explored.

Unlike our understanding of IQ, the game of matching shapes where the loser gets a teen pregnancy. That's been fully explored.

Ali Breland has written some fantastic entry pieces on the new right, including right wing anons and maga tech; now he has an article about the nooticers

Other anonymous far-right accounts have accrued more than 100,000 followers by posting about the supposed links between race and intelligence. Elon Musk frequently responds to @cremieuxrecueil, which one far-right publication has praised as an account that “traces the genetic pathways of crime, explaining why poverty is not a good causal explanation.” Musk has also repeatedly engaged with @Eyeslasho, a self-proclaimed “data-driven” account that has posted about the genetic inferiority of Black people. Other tech elites such as Marc Andreessen, David Sacks, and Paul Graham follow one or both of these accounts. Whom someone follows in itself is not an indication of their own beliefs, but at the very least it signals the kind of influence and reach these race-science accounts now have.

Speaking of the "virtualization" plan he has, did he not realize how expensive and impractical and un-immersive this would be, especially with 2008 technology?

You have to buy (and eventually repair) a shit ton of 4d VR headsets. You have to feed these guys and excercise them to make sure they don't atrophy too hard. And VR sucks ass, even now, so the entire facility would just be a shittier, smellier dark ride with a captive audience.

Isn't this just a stupider version of The Matrix? How is this guy so renowned?

As Delegate of San Francisco, what should you do with these people? I think the answer is clear: alternative energy. Since wards are liabilities, there is no business case for retaining them in their present, ambulatory form. Therefore, the most profitable disposition for this dubious form of capital is to convert them into biodiesel, which can help power the Muni buses.

Jesus Christ

Okay, just kidding. This is the sort of naive Randian thinking which appeals instantly to a geek like me, but of course has nothing to do with real life. The trouble with the biodiesel solution is that no one would want to live in a city whose public transportation was fueled, even just partly, by the distilled remains of its late underclass.

Oh ok, that's less(?) terrible

However, it helps us describe the problem we are trying to solve. Our goal, in short, is a humane alternative to genocide. That is: the ideal solution achieves the same result as mass murder (the removal of undesirable elements from society), but without any of the moral stigma. Perfection cannot be achieved on both these counts, but we can get closer than most might think

The National Socialist party of Germany, Hitler's party focused on advancing German rights and the hone of, among other things, the best outfits I've seen of a political party

I think it's closer to the arr blockedandreported brand of race science. I took a glance at Koanic soul and he seems spiritually aroused by whitness, seems a lil different.

Y'know, kind of like a Caroline Ellison type where they're definitely and severely into scientific racism, but less venomous than a blue check.

By the way, are there any archive services besides internet archive? They've excluded this domain and idk how I feel about giving this dude direct traffic

Reminds me of that dude who's obsessed with opera's fuck huge head and is convinced that she's a modern day Yakub because of it.

Very late, but for the love of God, make sure you raise your black child with enough respect for themselves and their race that they'll avoid debating twitter racists. Make sure your router drops requests to 4chan.org! Disable DNS over HTTPS on their devices! Run all their traffic through a proxy, MitM every request for an image and have a chat with them if you start seeing a lot of pfp sized pictures of roman statues. You need your kid to avoid these people the way they should avoid a hot stove.

He also wants us to know that Hannania is much less right than he's made out to be.. Richard gave him a signal boost and is cool with gay people! Unfortunately, Tracey hasn't grasped that "right winger" is simply a metonym for "thinks blacks are the second least domesticable African animal after zebras"

 

...And if it weren't for that one joke by Hannibal, Bill Cosby would be very uncontroversial.

 

This has convinced me more and more that the only possible way forward that’s not a dystopian hellscape is total freedom of all AI for anyone to do with as they wish. Anything else is forcing values

This dude also posts a direct link to a race-bait bluecheck two comments down, further cementing hn AI threads as downstream frog twitter.

I know this one might be stretching it a bit, but every comment on this post is sneer-worthy, every single one.
