Why would he share this? Is he trying to get out of a publication deal?
He's a decent thinker, but his writing is dry as a bone and a slog to get through.

He wanted to get out ahead of any controversy. Apparently he had knowledge that someone was digging through these old email threads and was likely to find this.

Oh fuck off back to /pol/ you snivelling child. Once you grow up you'll see how disgusting his "jokes" really are. I know over a dozen Black men and women who are perhaps the very best people I know and intelligent. More than a little rodent like you could even dream of becoming.

How could we trust your judgement of others kindness and hospitality when you don't value or possess those attributes yourself?

Your examples are not significant in a group context (mere dozen), nor in relation to IQ (kind though they may be), which are Bostrom's contentions.

There was a thread about it earlier, and the janny cancelled it.

He is done. He is utterly fucking done. They suspended a professor in chinese for saying "那个", which is pronounced as nega. Some black students heard their word, and it was like an iron fist jammed with hypersonic speed right into black ultra-fragility.

Niklas Boström actually said the thing, the magical word, the only remaining taboo. The niggers, the twittersphere and academia, which have greater and greater overlaps, are going to crucify him.
I give him 72 hours. He is done.

Right so you are just ok with people of Bostrom's influence to just say the N word and it's ok because he said "sorry"? Nah, fuck that. He is done. No second chances, it really isn't hard to be a decent person. You can get cancelled too scum bag and eventually you'll be found out for being the poisonous little Nazi magat that you so clearly are.

I am obsessed with the word nigger, and it is not my fault. It is because it is the only remaining taboo, the only remaining magical word, the most powerful word in the universe, which, wielded under different circumstances, can put entire cities to the torch, or get me killed nearly instantenously, in a murder that will widely be seen as justified.

The power of this word over black fragility is too enticing, to seductive - whenever I see a black person, my internal monologue starts screaming it - the power is too great, the pure unadultered joy of the taboo, and I will start smiling, really, really hard, because it is the funniest word of all time: nigger.
The smile I give will be picked up by whatever black people I am close to, and they will interpret it as if I am kind and approachable - and I am - but that is not the reason I am smiling. I am smiling because my mind is screaming nigger. I try to supress it, it gets worse, instead of merely having the auditory quality of a scream, I will have mental visions, mental visions of Ace Ventura, Pet Detective, making his ass talk with his hands - his ass screaming NIGGER! NIGGER! NIGGER! - at this point, I must do my best to not laugh in the face of the black person I am interacting with, for there can be no explanation for that but the truth.

But anon, I am exactly acknowledging the power and danger of saying nigger, and that is the reason why the word is so bewitching and enguiling. The sirens sing to me, they sing the most lethal of all words, NIGGER, NIGGER, NIGGER. Should I ever say it outside of the anonymity of my own mind or this imageboard, my life would surely be over - I know that - that is precisely the reason why I am so enraptured with the word. How can one little word hold such power? People talk of the death of literature, the death of the humanities, but here is one little magical word, two syllables that can end your life. How can one not be fascinated?

And you think here on /lit/ the environment is the same as that? No one but what i imagine as—for lack of a better word—an actual NPC would act on the internet (especially in an anonymous forum) in the exact same way as he acts in real life. Is the thought process you actually, truly have going on in your mind the very same thing as your IRL persona which you need to use to appeal to strangers?

You behave indecently when you demean people as rodents and maggots, you of all people, with an inability to be respectful of others dignity, ought to value giving lattitute to other peoples faults. Every post you've made in this thread has been of the same nature as Bostrom's four exclimation mark example.

Of course it doesn't matter, let alone from 1996 and with an apology both at the time it was posted and today on its republishing. To suggest otherwise is priggish.

I'm this guy >>21519744, >>21519766, and I also work in academia. My hardest challenge is when I participate in conferences and black people talk about racial injustice from the lectern - sometimes, when it is a good talk, my internal monologue screaming NIGGER will change and become musical instead, going NIG-NIG-NIG-NIG-NIG-NIG, with the staccato of the Papageno-Papagena duet from Mozart's Zauberflöte: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PJCnZCSD5o
