/lit/ - Literature

Btw guys I'm trans, so that might plays into my opinion as well.

true
HPMOR is fucking trash, and that is even compared to the average level of fanfiction
fucking harry crow is better, just because it knows what it is and isnt hypocritically preachy and still wrong.

>harry crow is better
How low are your standards bro, his works are literal trash

I'm not saying it is good, robst is fucking trash.
but its better than HPMOR.
there are some nice HPfanfics but neither HPMOR nor robst are good.
some fics I enjoyed: denarian trilogy by shezza, antithesis, weeb, the mind arts, novocaine, changeling
I've read too much to remember all of it but I got at least some standards

>the sequences are superior.

Just as exposure to literature reveals how shit HPMOR is, exposure to philosophy reveals just how shit the sequences are.

Omg right?? BAKA at these nerdy white logical positivism types...don't they know that has been debunked?? They need to read REAL philosophy and science like marcuse, robin diangelo or chomsky.

Imagine reading blogs written by software engineers on topics they've neither read about nor personally experienced and then making a post like this. You should also consider the history of Yudkowsky's claims of his projects and predicted accomplishments, compared to the actual outcome of those projects two decades down the line. Perhaps you are a little credulous.

White incels need to read actual real stuff from actually qualified folks like the fat sex therapist or prof michael eric dyson to try to understsnd the lived experience of BIPOC. Only then can they stop being creepy dorky white supremacist white incels.

It is not the case that your choice of education is between either tech bloggers or wokesters.

Agreed. The real question is what /lit/ considers to be the "best" rationalist fanfiction. I'm fond of Friendship is Optimal myself.

>>17959005
I like some of the ideas, but the prose is goddam awful!

I found HPMOR to be bad but also very fun to read. It does many things wrong but it also very adeptly scratched an itch I had that hadn't often been scratched before.
4/10, would recommend.

Ah, me as an exquisite connesiur of such kinds of fiction pieces as you very much seek have indubitably have heard much that ye grand epic saga so dubbed "Worm" by the works very own author himself a work which procures itself such a title as to consider itself as very much a good rationalist fiction as indeed it does; however, me have the unfortunate displeasure as to doth never have ever read such a work myself, but the work be a work which could reach far toward your so called definition of what you doth do be seeking in thine own very life.

Yud is just a fatso who hope robojesus will give him a shiny new robobody before he dies of a stroke.

It's either call you a woketard or try to come to grips with the fact that the singularity is just Christianity for nerds who feel self-conscious about going to church

you'd think a self-proclaimed 200 IQ genius autodidact savant would be able to research fasting and/or ketogenic diets a little bit

He got famous by shopping his fic to STEM nerds who had never read a book of fiction written by anyone but Isaac Asimov
