I know this isn't the place for it, but they're being brainwashed, theyre being addicted to rage from dishonest sources and then isolated from friends and family who could help them distinguish what's real. Like a cult.
This is the wrong place, this is where we sneer, but just out of the frame are oil companies sending all their resources to these talking heads to abuse our not so deep friends and neighbors, and then we just become part of it, when we abuse them aswell.
I… what? Is he aware that words, including names, are a
representation of a mental construct and as such can evolve to include
new information? That is, does the Yud know that we fucking know
these things about Trump? There are pragmatic reasons to do stuff
like this, but they’re generally context-dependent (like all pragmatics)
because we have the capacity to learn. Some of us, anyway.
He's certainly making a point, but I'd argue that it falls into that pragmatics thing I mentioned. He just takes it too far with trying to make it this bigger than that.
No, he is making a bad joke that thinks it’s cleverer than it is
> If you think he isn’t making a poor attempt to dunk on Trump this subreddit has completely poisoned your brain and I would offer compensation personally if I cared enough
That is not how humour works, and also people are clearly laughing, they’re just stupid
Don’t throw basic critical interpretative skills under the bus just to get angry at a wanker
I think you need to read the sequences to understand some reference to some enormously long post about abstractions and names and how other people when they use a name can't have in their head what the name refers to, and so on. (You know, the usual, an article which is kind of like if a dog ate a page from a popularization book and shat it out.)

Whenever you’re annoyed that someone is complaining about
“first-past-the-post-primaried, popular-minority
Electoral-College-majoritied leader”, remember that they may not have
words for concepts like “capitalism” or “dictatorship of the
bourgeoisie” but they do know something is very wrong.
I will now accept roko’s wager that in 4-5 years, Yud will be ready
to take and potentially pass a first-year undergrad philosophy class.
No, I’ll lose

Tbf, the US having an ass-backwards system definitely didn't help. Especially since he lost by millions of votes in 2016... but won anyway because of the electoral college.

E-Prime (short for English-Prime or English Prime, sometimes denoted É or E′) refers to a version of the English language that excludes all forms of the verb to be, including all conjugations, contractions and archaic forms. Some scholars advocate using E-Prime as a device to clarify thinking and strengthen writing. A number of other scholars have criticized E-Prime's utility.

This is the exact same mindset that leads Rationalists to writing 10,000-word blog posts when writing 500 words would be sufficient.

what systems produces a self-made man?
Imagine thinking what produced Trump was the US having bad mechanics for elections
weird how the only systems that produced trump-as-a-disaster were in the election itself
so close yet so far
‘Stop calling everybody dunning kruger’
who are the 111 people liking this word soup
Ayn Rand with a beard.
some guy with a blog
That’s definitely a gamble for the Yud
Nice reference to the Unabomber Manifesto, Milo King lol
Where’s the lie though?
