What a fucking pseud.
>The police officer who puts their life on the line with no superpowers, no X-Ray vision, no super-strength, no ability to fly, and above all no invulnerability to bullets, reveals far greater virtue than Superman — who is only a mere superhero.


>Science has heroes, but no gods. The great Names are not our superiors, or even our rivals, they are passed milestones on our road; and the most important milestone is the hero yet to come

I hate this guy.
I hate his face.
His writing style. You can tell he puts a lot of effort in it and thinks it over several times and has a smirk on his face as if it's good. Imagine taking 3 hours to write the above. Imagine being such a brainlet that despite all your effort it looks like shit. Imagine unironically being named Eliezor. Fuck. FUCK HIM.

> Yudkowsky is not in fact all that invested in the Harry Potter 'verse. He wanted to use the fanfic as a platform to teach rationality to a wider audience, because he felt that lack of rationality was causing people to reject his ideas about AI and transhumanism. In the story a rationalist Harry (whom he has altered into a total Mary Sue author avatar[12]) tries to get his head around magic[13] whilst delivering lectures on science to his elders and the audience.

>It's a cracking good read for fanfic (though for best results, just skip straight from chapter 30 to chapter 100) and is very highly rated on FanFiction.net. Yudkowsky and his fans believe it is Hugo-quality material;[14][15] Yudkowsky asked his fans to spam the 2016 nomination for Best Novel[16][17]

I bet Yudkowski is a 5incher. You can see in the attitude those who are in the 7-8 inch range such as myself. Seriously, it must be so sad for him to have to be a 'polyamorous' person (that is, a cuckold) because he can't satisfy his wife. I wish i lived in the USA. I'd go on Lesswrong and refute every single argument of his and then do a scathing critique of HPMOR, and then search for his 'wife' of 7 years, and seduce her and cum in her face and forward a picture to his public facebook profile. That's how much i'm mad at this redditor.

Yes. Bigger brains take up more energy and most very intelligent people never gain weight. I eat 4000 calories a day and remain at 60kg. Look at James Watson or Pope Benedict, the two most intelligent living people. Skinny their entire lives. Their high energy brains consume their calories. Yuddster the huckster doesn't have one.
