This particular bit is just beyond parody: > The shape rotators have been a minor force until very recent history. Though they’ve produced a significant portion of human progress through feats of engineering excellence, they were rarely celebrated until the dawn of the Enlightenment, perhaps 500 years ago. While the long-lasting glory of the Roman aqueducts is renowned to this day, nobody knows the chief engineer behind the project (probably Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa, but who’s counting). Today their stock is climbing to the moon. The world’s richest (self-made) men are almost uniformly engineers, computer scientists, or physicists. Vast portions of society that in a prior age might have been organized by government bureaucrats or private sector shot-callers have been handed over to cybernetic self-organizing systems designed and run by mathematical wizards.
I like how the ‘-cel’ suffix has to be explained as something other than celibacy.
Wait til they find out about people who can rotate four-dimensional objects with their imaginations.
just below the bit you quoted:
I like how Zuckerberg actually working on the thing that made him money is seen as unusual or impressive here. as opposed to Elon Musk, who became the richest man in the world by . . . studying physics in college?
but Roon’s silliness aside, I’m genuinely wondering how sneerworthy this whole concept is
like, it’s nonsense, but it seems like they aren’t taking it very seriously themselves either
star signs but for tech bros
Ow god it came from Rationalism, I have no words.
High level of 4channers start to fall for 4chan shitposts energy coming from this post btw.
It seems that every few months the Rationalists sphere discovers again that yes, some people have no imagination and they cannot visualise things, and then they forget it again. Hope this ‘from first principles’ reasoning makes it a little bit easier for them to remember.

That’s a weird way to spell bouergeois
Musk & Bezos were marketers & businessmen; only Zuckerberg was a real coder.
Roon is a loon.
What the fuck does this even mean? You’re a ‘wordcel’ if you believe facts are real? Seems to be the same kind of seething cope by uneducated rationalists as accusing everyone better educated than them of ‘credentialism’.
Vitalik Buterin is a fan
The correct terms are “shape rotorvators” and “Wordle incels”. The difference is (apparently) that the first try to sell you NFTs, and the second make memes about how shit NFTs are. Please use these terms henceforth. Thank you.
The “rotator” game roon linked in the post is legitimately addictive.

virgin wordle vs. chad klocki
The jargon in this post is like a fucking DDoS attack on my brain.
(self-made)
Ahahaha
Hahahahahaha 🤣
No. Certainly not Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa.
I follow him on Twitter and dude is a shit poaster.
The irony of wordcels seething in this thread, fckn lol

fyi most of you dont have enough verbal OR visuospatial aptitude to qualify as either wordcels or rotators
butthurt 97 iq will downvote this comment
