I was content to damn them with faint praise and save everyone the hassle. EY is a reasonably good writer who repackaged a lot of good ideas (Kahneman et al) and came up with a lot of less impressive original ideas (all the parts you’ve highlighted, many more). His most enjoyable work was fiction.

I can’t speak for others but I’ve come to see the Less Wrong / hardline rationalist crowd as having had some interesting ideas despite the Sam Bankman Fried of it all. Rationalwiki can be rather snarky, but can be a good resource.

Social media doesn’t often reward kindness, but that’s what is needed. Show kindness to young men, when you can. They need better guidance.

I’m only an hour in, but I’m getting masterpiece vibes

Fair

Oh my god fuck shut up fuck this looks amazing

Good context, cheers

You’re good, my references are just aging out

You moustache someone more knowledgeable

Little mf has to return some video tapes 🤣

As someone who was being stalked for a while, would have been really fucking nice if Voice had sorted this out a few years ago

This meme clearly came from the good timeline. That would imply they’ve got a version of me without a moustache. Terrible look. I’ll volunteer for the interdimensional incursion mission.

Anyway…Have y’all tried Animal Well?

It’s really that bad

There’s an argument to be made for both Repulsor and Favourable Beginnings.

We aren’t talking about the weight of the payload though. Don’t you need a fairly hefty bomb to meaningfully damage a refinery?

If the answer is no, I would love to see this strategy implemented in a longer ranged plane. Russia’s main tank production factory is about 2000 miles from the nominal Ukrainian border.

They must have done something to it, because Wikipedia puts its max range as 680 miles.

The ethos of neutrality isn’t in itself an invitation to drag the neutral position in your direction with increasingly extreme views. It’s unfair to say Switzerland is “aligning itself with Europe” and instead say Europe is less extremist.
