Yudkowsky is a stand-in here for dogmatic rationalism. I don’t care about specifics of postmodern/de colonial Marxist theory or whatever the fuck (also, that’s a huge field and likely difficult to generalize about). What I’m saying is that, if you wanna get Marxist about it, we have entire aspects of our experience as human beings which do not even make considerations for whether or not something is rational and capitalism routinely alienates us from them or denies our ability to experience them in the first place. Religious thinking is just one aspect of human thinking but there seem to be many Marxists who are content to insist that religion is and always will be an inherent detriment to the revolution. Bottom line is that humans aren’t computers and I shouldn’t have to know about diminishing returns or the basis of meta-optimization in order for that to be a valid assertion
It explains the mediocre response to Britney Spears' situation as well. Which really sucks because I was hoping to catch the abortion supreme court ruling here.

The sexist/terrible takes getting the most upvoted here explain why women's issues are rarely brought up here.
Yeah for real this whole thread is a mess of Um Aktually bullshit

Abortion is so cut and dry I’d be surprised at any awful takes, but I also wasn’t expecting an astrology struggle session so 🤷
True, but I meant it being mentioned when it happens.
