When you are a content creator, you create ONE copy. This does not entitle you to ANY other copies. Copying is not theft, but copyright sure is.

It is two thousand and sixteen in the year of our Lord. Redbaiting doesn't work any more; McCarthy is death. Screaming "BUT WILL SOMEONE JUST THINK ABOUT THE VILE, VILE COMMUNISTS?" at every turn to suppress dissent no longe

1. Please prove he pointed a gun at them. 2. People literally called the cops TO his location in the first place because he was sitting on a park bench eating. What is wrong with this picture? 3. He was shot 40 times. What is wrong with thi

It's not about "might." That's like saying the sun "might" set, or the tide "might" recede. Worms like Moldbug have a 100% historical record of mutating into terribly destructive individuals when give

Again, this presupposes that all thoughts are equal. They are not. This should be a trivial distinction for a hacker to make. It is also particularly interesting you are talking about groups of people, when this discussion was about Moldbug

1. The political compass is oversimplified and not taken seriously by political scientists 2. This has nothing to do with his argument. In the US, surveillance is largely the product of moral panics, primarily 1. The red scare 2. The race s

You're misunderstanding the Doomsday argument. There is no cap, nor does humanity have to disappear overnight. In fact it makes no claims about how humans will go extinct.

1. Do you think people like Hitler just arise out of the sea one day, like Aphrodite, completely unbidden? No. Worms like Moldbug lay the path for the actually physically dangerous people to rise up. 2. I'm not gonna get bogged down in

Your code of grace is also not universal and is almost certainly the minority.

No one is obligated to like you or associate with you, doubly so if you have political beliefs that would likely result in their slavery. Community sanctions are part of what it means to be human.

Again, not all views are equal. Stop trying to pretend they are.

I gotta say, this is some next-level red baiting.

Please provide evidence he pointed the taser at them.

There is an extremely simple test for such arguments: would anyone make this argument if the person in question was Osama bin Laden? Suppose old Osama was a Haskell wizard. Would anyone argue he should still be at the talk? No. But Nazis? W

Yes, I am perfectly okay with discriminating against Nazis. Since when is ALL discrimination bad? I discriminate against shitty people all the time, and so do you. Don't even pretend you don't, no one will believe you.

Not all views are equal. Some views are so horrendous it is our moral duty to ostracize their believers.
