    I love (read: hate) every time some hypothetical example of pedophilia gets discussed and it's like "okay but hear me out, the victim gets a gorillion dollars, an island, a robot monkey friend, the cure for cancer, and technically all of the emotional trauma gets offloaded to their clone that gets created from a sample of ethically sourced DNA. Would it then be okay?"

    Just... fuck off.

      Seriously it's like "oh here's a fucking Rube-Goldberg procession of contrived scenarios designed to reach a point where you finally agree there's a point I'm trying to make and not just making you participate in me cranking my brain hog."

      It's philosophy 101 meets edgelord meets bazinga meets pedophile apologia. It's a quadrilogy of shit. I fucking hate these people so much. Helluva way to start my day.

      There's a reason why big-yud and his "LessWr*ng" cult are so preoccupied with "thought experiments" that pretty much always involve justifying torture and the like.

      I don't know if those kinds of creepy fucks can ever be rid of the brainworms wriggling around in them, or if there's anything there at all but brainworms

        lmao that site became pathetic almost immediately. They all just regurgitate Nietzche and came up with dialectical materialism, but since they're STEM lords, none of them have actually read Nietzche or Marx. Then they fawn over one another for this "deep and insightful" posting. Nothing they say is new, but got damn if anyone were to point this out.

          I've gotten howled at before for saying so, but I'll say it again: techbro cults like that are infested with self-described "autodidacts" which is a fancy way of saying "doesn't actually fucking know what they profess to know but will bumblefuck anyway, sometimes boosted by venture capital" my-hero

          Yeah, it's fucked up, but even mocking the idea of "autodidacts" and all the harm the particularly rich ones cause is somehow upsetting to a certain bunch. It's like I become the gestalt manifestation of every wicked petty tyrant teacher that ever gave someone detention, my power only being potentially challenged by awesome radical rebels that say "actually I am an 'autodidact' and I already know everything" or something. Those rebels without a clue tend to have a belief that they can easily distinguish reality entirely for themselves without even an acknowledgement of the accumulated knowledge and expertise of everyone that came before. No wonder such smug-yet-credulous folks tend to fall for snake oil salesmen so easily. debord-tired

                  That reminds me of the start of "game theory," where it was such chud bullshit to begin with that the chuds pushing it had to re-do the so-called experiment many times over until they found sufficiently chuddy subjects to meet their pre-decided outcomes.

      It should read as insulting to anyone who’s actually spoken to a CSA victim, let alone anyone who is one themselves. It doesn’t come with a goddamn trust fund or an island or a pony or whatever.

    She sucks so much, for the uninformed, Brianna Wu is on the board for Progressive Victory, a PAC that funds shitty centrist streamers getting their stream kids to do extremely questionably effective voter outreach. She uses it as vehicle to insert her charisma void and terrible opinons in front of new audiences of unwary viewers.

        There’s a lot of money in filling up conference centers with bodies. The amounts of money our clients spend on an event boggles my mind. So yes, everyone does have to host their little seminars so line can go up.

        it pays and the kinds of people who get to do this spend their entire lives being gassed up and told that their place is one of merit and auspice so they act the part even when they're a braindead moron drooling t hemselves out on the floor while enabling horrific things domestically and abroad, they absolutely see themselves the enlightened protagonist and it's fucking infuriating.
