    Yeah, me too, at least the tail end. I remember them kicking the openly fash out (The Prometheans, I think) and immediately falling back into fascist thinking.

    One of the things that made me step away was how incredibly shocked and averse they were to anything that implied that a non-western culture could wield these technologies.

    I especially remember how Michael Anisimov went from "everyone is a Jupiter Brain" to "Socially Conservative uploading" to "I'm an open nazi"

        After a century of "Dumb Nietzsche" philosophers they fall for the dumbest of them, a guy so stupid that if he wasn't obfuscating it by name dropping Baudrillard would make Ayn Rand look like an intellectual titan

            Oh man, I just saw a post by Big Yud and he literally states that people who heavily disagree with him are either stupid or insane and frankly that's the sort of thing that gets you a bolt of lightning from the gods for hubris
