I wouldn’t worry about it

@cxgonzalez Wow, they ate so good on the seedcorn of centuries, I’m sure history will be kind

@PrinceVogel I have no fucking clue about the firstborn thing. I read something about how a sufficiently large age gap might trigger the firstborn bonus again, which suggests it’s probably mediated somewhat by sibling relationships but idk, shits voodoo

@PrinceVogel Science lit only captures the big stuff, and that shows quite clearly that IQ and earnings potential don’t change if you’re adopted. If we have to ascribe credit to those ineffable traits a standardized exam can’t capture, wherefore the parents instead of that soul themselves?

@PrinceVogel His dad’s educational regimen mattered insofar as it pushed him towards Greek and Bentham, instead of towards Jacobism or the Presbyterian church. But the same with different people would not give us another JSM

@PrinceVogel We don’t care about his 8 other siblings because, despite having the same upbringing (plus John as a tutor!), they didn’t amount to anything historic.

@MarkovMagnifico Compared to the alternatives EPIC is pretty nice. Note writing has converged on sucking secondary to the fact that the typical physician is responsible for costs in the millions per annum and the accountants want that number to be as low as possible

On a stroll, you pass by Ralph the child drowner, who likes to throw his children into the local pond. He just chucked one in. Do you have a moral obligation to jump in the pond?

It’s over, mortality. We’ve already depicted you as the soyjak and humanity as the chad.

@sullyj3 As a population declines the return on living in dense urban environments with real economies of scale will go up, and the social/professional/dating market cost of the boonies goes up

Bigotry will remain low status as long as it is low resolution

Ethics is holding back scientific innovation and progress

The AI that kills humanity won't be some magical black-box algorithm boostrapping itself. The AI that kills humanity will be a minimal social-networking communication infrastructure that memes humanity into murderswarming itself to death, Rwanda-style.

@growing_daniel Orthodox is literally “right opinion”

[disposablehead @disposablehead]

Hollywood couldn’t emulate the moral earnestness here, that was baked in. But I’m not sure they can trump the visual effects now? And that’s a big update for me

Ne Zha 2 is an incredible achievement and y’all should see it, but it reinforces a point Steve Hsu has pushed re: Chinese demographics. Turns out a country with a massive pool of skilled labor is able to produce high-quality goods

Almost all of us are mentally and physically mutts. And it does not belong to a mutt to be the member of a race, but the progenitor of one. Trying to squeeze yourself back into a 'race' is a lot like the desire to get away from life and back into a womb. Old wine, new wine skins
