“The political scientist John Sides … argues that the deepest divide in America isn’t between left and right, it’s between “ #rationalists” who focus on facts and reason, on one side, and “ #intuitionists,” who rely on their feelings, on the other” open.substack.com/pub/paulkrug...

Ziz was an active contributor to online rationalist forums like LessWrong and their own blog, which was filled with incomprehensible self-important jargon and video game analogies. There, they discussed saving the world through rationalism, using sociopathy to avoid being “pwnd” and fantasies about killing their abusers. Ziz pondered in posts what would happen if society were to “strip away ‘morality.” They wrote of “evil people ganging up to kill off good people.” Another post stated that the Rationalist Fleet's goals “ultimately required sociopathy.”
It always ends up the same way, "I should do what I want, and I want to do cruel, weird shit to other people without their consent"
Yawn.
