    We are on the verge of a “cultural mass extinction.” This will dramatically increase the homogeneity of our species and as such lower the prevalence of orthanganal perspectives that could generate solutions to social problems which are not apparent to surviving cultures.

    zoom and enhance

    orthanganal

    I shouldn’t make fun of uncorrected typos. But I will.

    If scientific racism is an attempt to legitimise racism, then this is scientific great replacement theory… which is just racism anyway.

    Is this the family who has a lot of kids and who ‘do not believe in the research on corporal punishment’ (wonder what that means)? (Rhetorical)

    e: lol on them blaming tinder. (Lets make it dumber, the moment that tinder was introduced still falls in within the normal (eyeballed) variance. The moment it breaks is … gamergate. Gamergate ended the world people).

      a lot of kids

      They had 3 kids last time they came up, which despite their posturing is not really a notable amount, and they’re both nearing their 40s, so it’s unlikely they’ll hit quiverfull numbers.

        As per Nitish Pahwa’s article from yesterday (linked here) they were “trying for their fifth” last month, which is certainly more than the average nowadays but still rookie numbers for pronatalists.

          And of course, that “pronatalists” should be in scare quotes. They’re pro rich white people (or “elites” as they happily let journos call them) having more kids.

          I wonder if any of the hacks ever managed to get them to talk about how they feel about poor white people or “elite” people of color having more kids. Would they seem ambivalent about that? On one hand, they’re eugenicists, on the other, they believe in great replacement.

          Yeah, four kids is “the biggest family on the suburban block where I grew up”, not “time to build another cabin in the compound”.

        Not really my point, but a good one. They dont even have that many kids to spank.

        probably something innocuous, we should edit the quote to reflect what we think they might have meant

    Weird that a young lesbian couple would be so anti-gay.

    I feel like only a rationalist comment section can be wrong in this fractal way. It’s the LessWrong house style I suppose?
