@ChrisExpTheNews Parmenides was a Christian?

Everyone is desperate to find some mathematical error in EA analysis so they can avoid the tension between how they want to live their lives and the moral conclusions EAs draw from premises they share (and refuse to challenge).

[Shea Levy @shlevy]

@tracewoodgrains @CineraVerinia But it’s less altruistic. You’re harmed less, you’re demonstrating your self-subordination to the collective masses less, you’re using your own judgment and improving your own life.

@Devin_J_Monahan @kamilkazani Brother we’ve long had the power and wealth to put down the parasites, what we lack is the moral will.

[Shea Levy @shlevy]

@AlexGodofsky Yes because perfect rationality does not allow for one to intuit poison

Same vibe.

@cljack @JonahLukeJames What if the US government is *sending* me to China, in camo fatigues?

Nobody is taking issue with what the troops did in Epic Fury - we take issue with the linkage between those tactical and operational successes and the lack of strategic accomplishment, highlighting a lack of planning by the people directing the war and leading the troops (that's you, Mr Secretary)

Christianity is when you stand before your omniscient creator and lie to yourself and to Him to get into heaven

@AlexGodofsky @olivertraldi There’s something added by the bad paste job

[Shea Levy @shlevy]

@LeahLibresco And I stand by my psychological claim: it is only as the result of a long train of self-destruction that someone could coerce their own mind into a posture of reconciliation in such a moment.

[Shea Levy @shlevy]

In isolation, setting aside everything you know about Trump’s character and the reason he hates these people, Trump comes off as honest and morally serious while Douthat reveals himself an impotent bully who crumbles when his gambit doesn’t work.

[Leah Libresco Sargeant @LeahLibresco]

If you just want to see the moment when Ross Douthat earnestly tried to save Trump’s soul, here you go.

@LeahLibresco That was one of the most despicable things I’ve ever read. People like you and she are the only reason people like the Nazis can ever gain any meaningful power, all for a fantasy that somehow the reasons you doubt your worth will be wiped away. Some of us don’t hate ourselves.
