“Reading Slate Star Codex, I feel like I’m finally strarting to understand how postmodernism happened. “Faggot blocked me for calling out some recent bit of his retarded bullshit. “I’d always got a whiff of fedora from this guy, so I feel gratified in my judgment at seeing him come out as one.” He will ban you if you stray too far from PC rigor.” “SSC skews toward highly intelligent discourse, but Scott is very protective of his liberal homies. Hard-line SJW enough that I’ve got better things to do than try to engage them? Yes. How much more SJW-feminist-entitled can you get?…Extreme? No. If I had any inclination to participate, that comment thread would have turned me completely off of it. “here is a series of a few posts ( 1, 2, 3) about how he is basically a conspiracy theorist, and in these posts he gets completely owned by the guy who cucked him with his tranny ex.” you are dealing with a 110 IQ reddit type in SSC.” not to mention he uses yudkowsky’s lingo and called Less Wrong “revelatory” or something like that. “oh what an expert in psychiatry! he’s a fucking med student in IRELAND. “his arguments only seem well-reasoned to people with NO knowledge of the subject matter (like him), and thus his main effect (just like that of his mentor, Eliezer Yudkowsky) is to keep smart people from learning things” “never forget for one fucking second that its author (who is ‘asexual’) and his most avid readers engage in ‘cuddle puddles’ irl, often bringing stuffed animals, and that he recommends this because it ‘increases credence’ in the other cuddlers’ statements.” “He is a fairly smart guy who makes well reasoned arguments. “a mentally-ill beta male who literally admitted that he wished he could become an asexual.” “it’s by a stuttering aspie with expertise in nothing at all” He has stopped posting on politics, I assume as a result of this persecution.” And, being the rightmost, was persecuted. The problem was he purged all frequent commentors to the right of him out of the comments, which means that he had only enemies in his comments. “Scott Alexander’s blog used to be good, but now he has been terrorized out of politics. The information there permanently disqualifies anyone associated with it from from having anything to do with building a functioning society.” Just read the post where Scott let ozymandius post about all the ways that Roissy is wrong. And SSC is miles better than lesswrong itself which is a weird cult centered around gnome in charge Eliezer Yudkowski. It’s a place for broken people to be shielded from ever hearing that they’re broken and for developing better and better rationalizations for why they’re not broken and shouldn’t do the work needed to fix themselves. “Go read the comment section on Slate Star Codex for a week and report back if you think LessWrongism is acceptable. This may be justified in order to minimize flaming and trolling, but it is also a stifling form of censorship.” It is my belief that Scott uses his toolbox of psychiatric techniques to manage the range of comment allowable on his blog. “Mark Atwood spent a month on the SSC registry of bans. “Slate Star Codex: 20,000 words on ‘feminism is bad’ and ‘Tom Swifties are the funniest shit I’ve ever seen'” “It’s like someone tried to make fivethirtyeight as uninteresting as possible.” I’m avoiding names and links to avoid pile-ons, but you can probably find most of these if you Google them. So here’s a short sample of some of the feedback I’ve gotten over the past three years. But I forgot some of the most important contributors: the many readers whose give valuable feedback on everything I write. Last post I thanked some of the people who have contributed to this blog.
