This clearly is (or is going to be) a Demon Thread. https://www.lesserwrong.com/posts/BZtAavpsy9WtMYgEL/demon-threads https://www.lesserwrong.com/posts/BZtAavpsy9WtMYgEL/demon-th... . People seem to be angry about what was said in the past, but don't agree on what was actually said or what those things meant. Attempts to clarify seem to mostly be throwing fuel on the fire instead. None of this is helping.
- ihsw2 9y agoSocial constructivists and progressive supremacists are the only ones angry about what he said -- he exposes their narrative as fraudulently based on moral principles.

- rainbowmverse 9y agoI think you're right. My instincts must be improving because something felt off after I made a few comments, and then I paged down a few times to here. And by a few I mean a few tens. I tried collapsing subthreads to get a handle on it, but it's really just a mess. How else would several subthreads of subthreads report 40+ replies in an hour once the whole thing is collapsed? There be demons.
- jochung 9y agoThe worst part is that both damore's statements and actions are being dissected with a scalpel, by people who rear their legs at the mere implication they might not be 100% morally right. Replace "white men" with "black woman" and they'd have a field day clutching pearls and fanning themselves silly. Damore may be an insensitive autist... Or maybe he's one of the few sensitive to see through all the posturing.
