So it turns out the healthcare assassin has some… boutique… views. (Yeah, I know, shocker.) Things he seems to be into:

How soon until someone finds his LessWrong profile?

TWG: is a good reminder that atrocities don’t come from convenient avatars of all I oppose

Random bluecheck: On the contrary, this just reaffirms my biases that e/accs and AGI race-promoters are the source of every bad thing in the world.

TWG: was he e/acc?

We are in the ‘he only followed some e/acc, he never said he was e/acc’ phase. Wonder what his manifesto will say.

Hopefully it elaborates on whatever the fuck this is:

Modern Japanese urban environment is an evolutionary mismatch for the human animal.

The solution to falling birthdates isn’t immigration. It’s cultural.

Encourage natural human interaction, sex, physical fitness and spirituality:

If we couldn’t react with “wake up babe, new copypasta just dropped” or “tag yourself, I’m the false fitness signal in the maid café”, we couldn’t react to a lot of life.

i thought for some time now that problems with jalanese society are things like stifling conformism, ridiculous degree of nationalism and sexism, how they are functionally an one-party state or stiff strictly hierarchial relationships that appear out of nowhere the entire time. but yeah definitely this seed oils level of conspiracy thinking is accepted truth on eacc twitter

The man who hypes up that higher intelligences can figure out laws and rules from data quicker and more thoroughly than lower intelligences defending e/acc accounts by going ‘well they never openly advocated for killing, so this is not a valid concern’. Did he forget he advocated for bombing datacenters? Guess he never read any science fiction where ‘“rational” leader accidentally inspires murderous cult’, By The God Emperor, somebody should write a science fiction novel about that.

That conversation reads like from a variation of Mafia/Werewolf where you have to figure out who in your circle of rationalists is secretly e/acc and wants to build the torment nexus.

This reminded me that TWG has a Twitter account. I could have done without that reminder.

A few years ago, I would have pointed to Elon Musk as someone approximately where I was in the political spectrum. The left pushed him away, the right welcomed him, and he spent hundreds of millions of dollars and put in immense effort to elect Trump.

No, you embossed carbuncle. Apartheid boy was evil all along; you were just too media-illiterate to see through the propaganda.

The left made him call that guy a pedo in 2018, and tell his first wife he was the alpha in the relationship in 2000. Thanks Obama.

The left did not push Elon Musk away. The left has fundamentally different interests and values to the billionaire and alleged rapist.

The starving people are tied to the track, the trolley barreling down at them, they are screaming at you to release them or pull the lever, which they can’t, not without the rich guys help. But the rich are not helping.
