The abyss is staring back into us and downvoting what they see. Wouldn't be surprised if we've got some fans of either person in the OP reading threads here.
That I wouldn’t doubt, this sub is literally lurking round the corner of an astonishing number of paranoid minds in rationalist and rationalist-adjacent circles, even if that’s not at some of its most impressive peaks these days
Ah, just a couple of years ago…the drama!
Unusual, however, to see this but no specious reports etc
I think Reddit's vote counting system is inconsistent. For instance, the post you replied to has shown between 0 and 2 votes each time I've refreshed the page
It does that once votes start to accumulate, as the algorithm tries to find an appropriate average of up or down votes, but the very earliest votes reflect actual voting patterns
Pretty sure I read that the Reddit backend and API purposely mix up up and down votes and their summations to thwart bots and to prevent people from scraping Reddit for accurate information without paying them.
The initial post actually makes Scott look good, but further
down:
To put it another way: if your vaunted sensemaking or rationalist
approach does not allow you to readily notice the huge warning flags
flapping around Alex, that mark him as a conspiracy theorist and self
aggrandising dilettante… then you have a bad framework.
Unrelated to this beef, also saw this twitter thread joking about,
friend of the Rationalists, moldbug.
Dont think this is enough for its own thread (esp as im also not a
fan of calling women ‘cat ladies’) some of you might get a mild chuckle
out of it however.
[Moldbug's partner](https://twitter.com/debdrens/status/1532726751281008640) seems like one of the villagers from (spoilers) >!Hot Fuzz!< - acts nice at parties, and very willing to murder to create the appearance of a model society.

Noted rationalist Scott Alexander is upset that Alexandros Marinos is
misrepresenting him in a new blog post and overhyping a minor correction
as a vindication of the efficacy ivermectin. He also accuses Alexandros
of the ultimate sin amongst rationalists being bad faith 😱.
serious question, no mod consequences: do you (OP) just automatically downvote people who reply to your posts?

E: sorry typos phoneposting
I met Alexandros at LessWrong meetups in London in 2011. Seemed a perfectly reasonable guy.
‘He was accusing me of saying he wasnt neutral. Anyway here is why he is crazy’
I don’t get what’s going on here?
