@SaffronOlive For my LGS (I am just a player):

Lorwyn Eclipsed: 26
TMNT: No data (I didn't go)
Secrets of Strixhaven: 17
Marvel Super Heroes: 23
Hobbit: 33
Reality Fracture: 21
Star Trek: 21

Given all the online talk I expected TRK to be dead, but attendance was fine.

Some people I think very well of are into the rationalist, EA, LessWrong world of ideas, and, qua philosopher, many of those ideas and approaches strike me as serious and worth considering.

But man, qua human, when some of the sociocultural stuff about those communities reaches my boring old academic timeline, and one sees the rat discussions around that sociocultural stuff, the WTF is so powerful it makes me think there is something very off about the worldview when translated into a way of life.

Not sure if it is gender skew, age, anti-conservatism about norms, the strange culty insider way of speaking and writing, too much consequentialism and longtermism, money, tech bro culture and power, overvaluation of “rationality” over emotion, or… ? But wow.

I know, painting with a broad brush and all that.

@FrankBednarz @AliceFromQueens @cremieuxrecueil Steve Sailer has a relevant article here: https://t.co/zEqVlpl6pc

One detail completes this. Buchheit said the slogan was a jab at competitors he felt were exploiting their users. The company most often named in those early Google conversations was Microsoft, which in 2001 was in the middle of a federal antitrust case.

A quarter century later, Microsoft is Google's biggest AI competitor again, and Google is the company being asked to explain its conduct.

The motto outlived Google's commitment to it. It also outlived the era it was originally written to define Google against.

@anish_koka About 1/3 of neurologists are IMGs, so I think IMGs are choosing neurology in pretty significant numbers.

@HMBrough_ Wasn't Stephen the fourth king after 1066?

China haters are so funny because they refuse to praise China for things that China does objectively better than all their countries. Imagine sitting there being like “not that impressive it’s just a bunch of skyscrapers with neon lights, massive scale urban planning, energy infrastructure to support hundreds of millions of people, nationwide high-speed rail, dense supply chains, port logistics, modern digital payment ecosystems and entire megacities built in decades” just dimwits 💀

@francisdeng @mhjrad Yes!

@HMBrough_ All those people have countries. Palestinians are stateless.

@wil_da_beast630 1. It's not a weird obsession, many of them are open racists.
2. On the metrics they care about--even the ones they haven't made up, misunderstood, or exaggerated-- black people are huge negative outliers.

@retarded_whore But the girl on the right is provocatively dressed.

[Dr. Quinn @alt_velleity]

@QuasLacrimas Point taken, but also:
Her biggest fans are probably middle aged and elderly black ladies who do read, but don't listen to podcasts.

@sailaunderscore He's already a race IQ guy, and has been for years. What more do you want?

[Dr. Quinn @alt_velleity]

@HMBrough_ @razibkhan Man, I'd take more IQ in a second. I feel like it would make everything related to work that much easier, faster, better etc.

Not sure being 6'2" vs 5'11 helps me that much. Halo effect is nice, but in terms of actually being able to do stuff in life? Isn't it IQ no question?

[Dr. Quinn @alt_velleity]

@thomasmidleton @wil_da_beast630 Not at all. AOC graduated magna cum laude from BU. Placed highly in a national high school science competition.

JC is a lawyer, seemed to pass the bar first try, ~120 IQ is certainly reasonable for both.
