Being a “heterodox thinker” is sort of like being a male feminist:
someone who constantly, publicly declares themselves to be one probably
isn’t. To wit, almost every self-identified heterodox thinker is
actually just a contrarian. The distinction between independent
thought and oppositional thought is entirely lost on them.
And if the fact that modern civilization continues to thrive is not just the result of random chance then being a contrarian means that you're probably going to be wrong very frequently.
Well, "bigoted" rather than strictly racist. Many of their "heterodox" opinions are racist but just as many are misogynist and anti-queer. Roko himself specifically thinks that women need to be re-subjugated to the fullest possible extent in order to Save Civilization.

fixed for accuracy
Please be more thoughtful when it comes to talking about male feminists. We are just men trying to do our best, and are probably (almost certainly, in fact) more oppressed than women themselves.
I find the conflation of criticism and “defending the dogma”
fascinating. He really just cannot possibly fathom that people like us
find him to be a pathetic freak; instead he has to build up this fake
canon in his head where we’re desperately defending some undefined
dogma.
Dude needs a fucking therapist who will tell him that he’s not the
protagonist.

https://www.reddit.com/r/SneerClub/comments/kf39ck/roko_presents_tradhumanism_the_idea_is_that/ he is a tradhumanist now. (The reference didnt seem to load for me properly on reddit on phone so you will perhaps have to do some digging)
The retweeted tweet has so many phrases that I think it might be a
self-burn. People with heterodox opinions (Roko et al) have been
brainwashed and are overconfident in their bullshit. Which is true -
there is a certain type of clever, intellectually-inclined white guy who
will be told his entire childhood how smart and special he is. Either
reality hits them like a brick wall at some point and they get better or
they end up assuming every thought in their head is some new and
precious gift to humanity and anyone who disagrees just doesn’t get
it.
I don’t think that’s entirely what he meant to say, but that’s what
he ended up saying.
If you go against what others believe because they believe it, you
are equally controlled by others. These guys always sound like the two
year old that learned the word ‘no’.
Yeah like, Scott A is stupid due to what amounts to character flaws. His self-justifying self obssessed bullshit and desire to flatter his own prejudices get in the way of thinjing.
I think Roko is just Not That Bright.

Rationalists like probabilities right?

Isn’t Roko an actual fascist now? Does Yud care about the optics of retweeting him at all?
It’s SUPER weird how all the ‘contrarian’ thinkers are just so easily clocked and their beliefs predicted to a T.
You’d think they would be so ideosyncratic that they would be hard to preduct… but nope.
Those heterodox opinions:

“i’m galileo, right, but extremely racist”
Heterodox just means conservative.

Reads like something you’d find over on the horrible conspiracy sub, tbh.
This guy is an idiot. Permanent Sophomore.
“Mistaken believes”… and loses all credibility.
Something something they also laughed at Bozo the Clown.
