@GaryMarcus Would love to hear your thoughts on @DrJimFan 's post on the subject

[Vikram Rangraj @VRangraj]

@amasad @kristoph @paulg This is pretty spot on - I don't think it's going to get too many people to switch sides, but it very much can convince key dem voters to stay home, which is enough to determine an election.

@muddletoes @ollyrobot I get the distinct vibe of a man who has stared into the abyss and had that abyss stare back into him for a little too long. It just feels like he broke somewhere along the way

@daniel_eth I swear I've seen the unironic version of this tweet from some lesswrong-y accounts

[Vikram Rangraj @VRangraj]

@CurtTigges @alyssamvance Intermittent fasting is considerably risky for women, btw! There's pretty good repro on that too.

@TaliaRinger Love everything about this, thank you for sharing!

[Vikram Rangraj @VRangraj]

@TaliaRinger I also am just an internet rando trying to understand this incredibly cursed world we're in, so, y'know, disclaimers on everything above

[Vikram Rangraj @VRangraj]

@TaliaRinger I also think we probably diverge in terms of the balance of consequentialist vs. deontological moral frameworks - I remember a tweet thread you wrote about certain actions that you consider immoral that you would take which leads me to that conclusion.

Rize is looking for sales, account management and rev ops talent - leads welcomed!

I think our revenue team presents an amazing combo of (i) having the chance to grow (financial + role), (ii) working alongside a super talented team and (iii) making an impact in education.

@benryanwriter This seems like an attribution error to me? Indifference is just as dangerous as as malice and exponentially more common. I'd expect that most people don't think about delivery drivers at all

[Vikram Rangraj @VRangraj]

This will mean accepting political compromises and allies that you personally do not like, because the thing you want to have happen isn't a real choice. I really like this essay on that - @EffingBoring can't remember if I shared this one with you! 2/2

Near-enough to half of voters backed Trump in 2020, if we want to push back the last several years of voter suppression and mitigate the impact of the current supreme court, the dem. coalition has to be welcoming to the people described here 1/n

[VENID A VER LA SANGRE POR LAS CALLES @EffingBoring]

hot take: compassionate, moderate religious conservatives still exist they are about to get dumped on their asses by the Republican Party they brought to power. it is to the left’s detriment to be anything but welcoming to them.

[Vikram Rangraj @VRangraj]

@RowanDalzell @EffingBoring Accurate commentary on this twitter personality

[Vikram Rangraj @VRangraj]

@benryanwriter Temperately

[Vikram Rangraj @VRangraj]

@adrusi @parafactual I agree that's a better norm, but like all norms, if everyone in a conversation isn't operating under the same set of norms, things get a little derail-y

[Vikram Rangraj @VRangraj]

@ollyrobot @parafactual this = the steelman you wrote above, but also, it's considerably more important to engage with the (incredibly real, valid) concerns about an issue than dunk on an angry person on the internet

[Vikram Rangraj @VRangraj]

@ollyrobot @parafactual I agree that this is an actual good argument, and the one I hear from smart people about transhumanism and general biohacking ideals. I don't think this person is making this argument, because this tweet of theirs also exists: https://t.co/xoBhhMWNRS

@girllich1 @joe_zimmerman @moskov @alpha_convert Like, how is "I support things I think are good, just not everything it's historically associated with" a stance
