I guess we can add “conventionally-minded/passively-minded”” to the
list of made up nonsense categories these people use to place themselves
in the good club and the feminists in the no good stinky bad club
Good to know Paul Graham has expanded the usual rationalist taxonomy
of [genius rationalist category]/[dumb sheeple category] into a more
nuanced spectrum of sheeple to big brained computer touchers.
Paul graham being compared to a straight up racist, what delicious …
well yeah.
The startup culture is kinda bonkers anyways. I remember back when a
friend of mine was “trying” to recruit me, and when I expressed
resistance because I had just moved, and he was trying to see If I could
live in SF on min pay, said thay “some people are born startup people
and some aren’t”. What an ass! In the end his startup failed to deliver
much money to employees: they got like maybe 100k bonus and a reset
vesting schedule. The founders earned like 0m each?
Totally unrelated to what Nathan is trying to say. Did the South
African billionaire use the word ‘chimp’ to dismiss somebody who
disagrees with him? Yikes.
If only there was some kind of shorthand for this argument, so that
kids being raised today could understand why there are gods punishing
them because they think certain things.

HOw long until Lawrence Mead gets interviewed by Sam Harris?
edit: actually, I think Mead is too racist even for Harris.
Totally unrelated to what Nathan is trying to say. Did the South African billionaire use the word ‘chimp’ to dismiss somebody who disagrees with him? Yikes.
I’d really like to make a big bucket of popcorn and watch Mead fanboys battle the skull-measurers. Is there a motte thread for this yet?
