    The woman has two possible types: PRUDE and SLUT

    Rationalism is when... the madonna-whore complex? Wait, what?

    Are there any deep moral lessons to be drawn from this?

    I think the lesson is that you should make an interim judgement of a book by its cover.

    Does this woman sleep around a lot? Yes, probably.

        it’s when you jump to conclusions based on pure bias, and the more biased your priors, the more rational it is

    Scroling down and seeing wojaks around a payoff matrix blasted my sides into fucking orbit lmao

    PUAs really would rather pretend to study game theory to "undertand the female mind" than just fucking talk to women huh

      The self described visionaries of the "friendly AI" singularity future post tired old 4chan memes.

      No matter how they pretend otherwise, a lot of /pol/ is divorce dads and other bitter genX/boomer burnouts chasing the dragon of being cool and relevant.

    Prudes don't want these permanent signals because prudes want to do things like get prestigious jobs or committed relationships where piercings, tattoos and blue/purple hair are disqualifications [hence, costly].

    ah, yes, because no promiscuous woman has ever wanted a job

          No wonder R*ddit worshipped him. He was as :cringe: as they were, but richer, so they could project their aspirations of being rich and still stale, tedious and bazinga onto him.

    Sneer club is one of those subs I would’ve been all about when I was younger and had more free time but now it’s just too online for me to keep up with all of the characters and conflicts. Y’all have fun talking shit on the internet tho, it’s one of my favorite pastimes

        If you create a hyperllop station to carcosa you unleash madness beyobf human comprehension to the world. If you dont, the king in yellow will use a boring brand drilling machine to drill under your house and force you to use non market based solutjons to your everyday problems.

      Less Wrong is "The Yud's" personal website, started after Overcoming Bias split up. It's 99.99995% weird post-transhumanist nerds who are so alienated and disaffected they make 3 new types of reactionary a second until they decay into either a standard Nazi or the sort of Marxist-Leninist who feels Zhdanov needed to more tightly control ideology in the SU.

          There's more sources but they're POSITIVE about the donations and I'd rather not get some :so-true: malware from them.

      A wannabe cult leader and rambling autodidact wrote a long series of blog posts on AI and human rationality, with quality varying from genuinely useful, to a 32-part series explaining quantum mechanics incorrectly, to weird half-written fiction snippets. All written like a self-help guru who's ironically-not-ironically playing at being an old wise hermit who descended from the mountains with a divine revelation. The divine revelation is that Bayes' Theorem is neat, btw.

      And if that's not bad enough, the wannabe cult leader left like 10 years ago, and lesswrong is whatever losers are still clinging to his fucking blog.

    Okay I read that basalisk thing. Am I being super thick here or is it basically just Bloody Mary for a gang of psychotic, arrogant techbros who've spent the last few decades huffing each other's farts while misunderstanding philosophy and failing to realise they aren't geniuses and their success is mostly a combination of inherited wealth and being the hundredth idiot?

        It's "the good news of Jesus" for techbros replacing god with themselves... or :melon-musk: . The good news is you're saved, but you're damned if you refuse the good news. Not hearing the good news is a mulligan. :so-true:

      That's what it is, yes. They would deny it because :libertarian-approaching: always have to believe they were the first to come up with a concept and the first to explore that concept and bumble around like perpetual teenagers believing they are smarter than anyone else who ever thought about it.
