Why haven't you read the Sequences yet anon?

Why aren't you trying to improve your ability to think clearly?

Why aren't you trying to get a better map for the territory?

He's a massive pseud who's convinced a generation that he's a genius. He doesn't understand quantum mechanics, probability, or philosophy, or nutrition (pic related)

>>	Anonymous Tue Jan 10 22:35:10 2023 No.21507764 >>21507749 I've refuted his arguments on utilitarianism, quantum mechanics interpretations, fat loss, probability, and zombies multiple times on Less Wrong and he always evades my points. He's a fat fucking pseud.

>>	Anonymous Tue Jan 10 22:59:59 2023 No.21507877 is there a long form critique on the "ideas" espoused by lesswrong? I'm not even sure what they believe in and aren't interested in reading a pseud tome just to find out

I'm almost positive at this point that LW pays to stifle criticism on many forums. /sci/ threads that are overcritical are pruned quickly, and this thread will likely get pruned like the last "rationalist" thread. Simply notice the billionaires who back this pseud nonsense. I'm not a lefty but a better critique of capitalism is wanting when you see some the crap these tech lords believe unflinchingly.

Somebody for some reason wants you to swallow this tripe.
