Siskind: So you see, I have built this nice rat-NRx pipeline, it has high capacity and high reliability, very proud of myself

~~How to sleep with fascists.~~ (E: I had no idea Yarvin was actively looking for dates, dont go and murder Yarvin).

E: And sure, team up with the NRx, it worked so well for LambdaConf, no issues there.

We know that most intelligent life in the universe evolves to chase proxies for biological fitness (happy drugs, happy movies, happy careerism) rather than long-term fitness itself (good babies & civilizations)

So, according to PrimalP, EA is already fascist. (And yes there is a lot more to sneer at in GM’s post, it is really mask off). I am confused however that GM dares to post this so openly on the internet while he is teaching at a university, isn’t the cathedral all vengeful and don’t they go after thought criminals like this?

I found that ad only half as creepy as I expected it to be. Is there something wrong with me?

Eh, it’s a smart move and it’ll probably work for him. Unironically Scooter should give it a try too

We want human life to survive the real existential threats (like thermonuclear war, bioweapons, and AI), not just the politicized pseudo-threats (like climate change, inequality, or systemic racism).

“Politicized” but it’s just blue tribe concerns.

the REAL concerns like scary robot skynet doomsday, not the fake concerns like global warming

Well this is Curtis Yarvin, so his deal is less robot skynet than “we should be ruled by Leviathan” Geoffrey Miller just wants to get laid

Did Yarvin also want to prove he is a unique and special snowflake by inventing a new political system? He and the sentientist woman should hook up.

Oh man I hadn’t seen these advice-column posts before…fucking gold. From one of his correspondents: https://graymirror.substack.com/p/uncle-yarv-12-tradwife-edition

I knew that my husband was the one for me when I observed him change his mind based on evidence.

I wonder if someone is pranking him because that’s a little too perfect.
