Rationalism: the use of emotionally charged hypothetical stories about children in order to destroy first-world nations.

How is this clown still respected by anyone?

Why is the tumblr rationalist community filled with "help vampires", people who suck up immense amounts of time and effort from people with actual skills without offering any real value in return?
http://www.skidmore.edu/~pdwyer/e/eoc/help_vampire.htm
like, just off the top of my head:
Ozy
Olivia Schaefer
"thebiggerfish" aka Sylvia
Act/Accalia

How do we stop this menace and either force them to improve or oust them from spaces where they can continue to hurt people/waste the rest of our time?

I'm not immersing myself in anything, to be honest. It's like I've developed an aversion to mental effort.

I would still try to send my kids to a school populated by kids very similar to them, not for expected present value of future earnings, but for their ability to find friends and enjoy their school years. If they turn out like me, that means homeschooling though

I had the impression hispanics are about half way between whites and blacks in most regards, with some variation between measures.

Fair enough, but a school that's 40% white and has AP classes still offers opportunities for meeting culturally similar smart kids. Cultural and class background of the local white population is worth considering too of course, not to mention how you feel about the Asian question.

That might be based on older data taken from like Puerto Ricans and shit, who are in fact mixed African and European rather than mixed Amerind and European. They do behave differently from Mexicans, though of course many factors other than genetic makeup could be the culprit. Like I hear Salvadorans are also supposed to be pretty buckwild and they're Indio hispanics.

>By the way, what's the deal with Mexicans being so… tolerable? If g correlates with everything from crime to educational attainment, it makes sense that nig-nogs are both violent and illiterate. But Hispanics also have lol-worthy IQs, yet they aren't living engines of destruction and in fact can be pretty chill
Amerindians are smarter than niggers to begin with, and most Hispanics are Mestizos (White-Indian hybrids), so they're even smarter than that. Not quite White-tier, but pretty close (unless you are talking about Conquistador-Americans like Jorge Ramos, who are pretty much just White people who speak Spanish).

For those of you who don't keep up with the latest on the r/slatestarcodex subreddit, it looks like there are dark clouds on the horizon. The subreddit, once a shining bastion of effortposting and polite discouse, has become a hive of bitter agendaposting and thinly-veiled contempt for the (((hated outgroup))). Those of a lefty persuasion have largely abandoned the subreddit, and the few that remain are hopelessly outnumbered. Pic related relates the feelings of PM_ME_UR_OBSIDIAN, chief moderator and driving force behind the subreddit.

If you would like to know more, feel free to check out the following links. I'd have archived them but archive.is doesn't like them. Sorry, gwern, I know I've failed you.

https://www.reddit.com/r/slatestarcodex/comments/8tpcyn/culture_war_roundup_for_the_week_of_june_25_2018/e1jlxqp/

https://www.reddit.com/r/slatestarcodex/comments/8tpcyn/culture_war_roundup_for_the_week_of_june_25_2018/e1e92vm/

What do you think will happen to the subreddit? Will the Culture War thread be destroyed entirely, or will the poison spread until Scott can no longer bear to associate his name with it? What happens then? Is the absence of left-wing voices merely a symptom of their inability to stand up to facts and logic, or just a sane response to a constant barrage of arguments built on foundations of inchoate hatred? Will poor embattled PM_ME_UR_OBSIDIAN be forced to mercy-kill his beloved creation?

For posterity and for discussion, this has been an anonymous report on internal rat-adjacent drama.

I think "left-wing" needs to be unpacked. While econ leftism is more like a mistake that needs to be addressed, SJ is simply moralistic insanity. (Social) liberalism is just a bastardized variant of Biblical Christianity which is a highly cucked ideology.

The future belongs to sentient beings who combine high IQ, Aryan-Mongol militantism, Jewish trade practices and absolute mercilessness, not fucking cucked, retarded and moralistic people.
