Sorry im on the phone. The worst part is that i think that particular scene is based on his own life. In the story his friend was a rich guy. And in real life he mooches of billionares. So probably one time his patron made a similar remark...
He is a racist shithed but i think more than anything, it sucks that he is so popular. I wouldnt mind him if he wasnt simetimes featured in blogs of people i like. Makes me question my tastes.
Totally. Slightly like Noah Harari imho, in the sense that people like them and take them for authorities even though they aren't and they are pushing into a specific direction.
I went out and read his short story after seeing this comment and I gotta say... Actually reading Yudowsky does a pretty good job at dispelling any notion of him having insightful observations about anything.
Knowing that his fiction is supposed to be specifically preaching his philosophies casts an even more unflattering light on him. Like wow all I'm learning from the messaging is that this guy is an edgelord libertarian dipshit with very little creativity.

And yes I understand what he was trying to do with including the 'rape is legal' jumpscare. Yes, it's totally supposed to make us reflect on moral relativism and how society might change in the future, but then none of it is further reflected on or even internally consistent within the morality or interpersonal interactions with the rest of the characters in the story.
Like hey dipshit, we humans have already had societies where forms of rape were legal. And guess what, the standards and reasoning behind that were that were reflected everywhere in the rest of society, due to the circumstances of who held power and how that was maintained.
Instead they have the characters having a sensible chuckle about how silly of an idea it is that rape could be considered bad or something to worry about and then in the next two chapters have that exact same character get squeamish about an alien having sex with a seperate digital avatar of himself. Come the fuck on dude.

It is one of the main sources of bad talking points by "IT" people I know, too.
