Friendly mod advice: as in the headline here, there’s a tendency here
that comes in waves of posters assuming too much knowledge when they
post. I always hate having to double-check who somebody is because
“Chapman” and “David Chapman” both make me think of “Mark David Chapman”
i.e. Mark Chapman who shot John Lennon.
Just as a question of style it assumes the casual reader is embedded
enough in pretty fringe parts of this stuff to immediately get it use
from a pretty common surname
“David Chapman” or “Meaingness Guy” would work better, and I know I’m
being petty but it does stick in my craw
There are some users (and all power to them) who follow the online discourse of things like post-rationalism and assume that other people do the same, or so is my supposition
I don’t do much rationalism stuff on twitter at all, because I don’t really care for portentous lengthy twitter threads, and generally mute or unfollow people who make them unless they’re people I particularly like
I’ve been commenting on it for years now, but there is a common misconception that amongst both this subs fans and detractors that it’s an “ex-rationalist” sub, which is I think some people just assume everyone here knows or cares about the background petty internal politics of major players in the “movement”
The man literally talked to \_Lomez about the origins of workplace diversity training and retweeted St.rev. Make of that what you will
EDIT: And talked about trying to get the left to stop blaming everything on white supremacy
Chapman doesn't seem to consume much of any fiction and his idea of a sense of humor is reusing the same hack "Never mind the X...here's the Sex Pistols" joke, so I doubt he understands (or is capable of understanding) this.
In general his pattern of behavior is to approach something fairly well understood by non-academics by reading obscure technical manuals.

crossover.
(I have no idea who this Chapman is, and looking over his tweets im
going to keep it that way (E: anybody who does the ‘both sides of the
culture war are acting like mean people, we should be nice to each
other’ while one side is trying to legislate trans people out of
existence by checking kids genitals should not be listened to)).

GPT-<3
Why would you want a guide to writing clever phrases for romance fiction when the whole point of titillating romance fiction is using stock phrases.
I’ve no opinion about that, I’m just queasy about the concept of GPT-3 generated porn. “I put on my robe and wizard hat…”
