I would generally reserve HN as a space worthy of more nuanced opinions than this but in this case there is one response that feels appropriate. Fuck the nyt.

Fuck the nyt. That entire dumpster fire can hopefully fizzle out shortly.
Slatestar codex was some of the most interesting content I've read in my life. In comparison, I've never read anything in the nyt that compares to "I Can Tolerate Anything Except The Outgroup" or "Meditations on Moloch" or "The Toxoplasma of Rage" so in my mind the single most consequential thing that publication has done is to silence something of higher quality than itself out of fear.
- turtleboughs 6y agoThe notion that an armchair diletante is producing "the most interesting content you've read in your life" speaks volumes here. I'm sure it's interesting to you, but that hardly makes it interesting to anyone outside that cloistered worldview. The fact that he echoes your own personal feelings of entitlement count for something I suppose. But that something is not a good thing, per se.
