What should I do with my dating life rn

> And just—back in the 'aughts, Robin Hanson had this really great blog called _Overcoming Bias_. (You probably haven't heard of it, I said.) I wanted that _vibe_ back, of Robin Hanson's blog in 2008—the will to _just get the right answer_, without all this galaxy-brained hand-wringing about who the right answer might hurt.

Man how can MTSW rock so much

@alex what in the

Are you furry | trans?

I'm sorry I can't tell you the name of God. I can't tell you the name of God because he is veiled and almightly over in the heavens. he is veiled and almightly over in the heavens because you have exiled him there. You have exiled him there because you were afraid of your good twin. You were afraid by your good twin because your heart is burning off

@samgai Towards the scientific & legible, towards left-wing political positions, away from religion.

Probably less content on non-English speaking contries and non-European ones. STEM focus. Pop culture focus (the article for Sideshow Bob has more sources than the one for Alexander Pushkin).More articles about men than about women.

Recency bias (mostly for things that happened before ~1996).

None of these are bad, I'm a huge Wikipedia fan. But I think they exist.

Ok with the snark out of the way:

I don't think that there's that much overlap between the two groups. Insofar as there is overlap, I expect the individuals to hold individually sort-of consistent opinions (e.g. they read the privacy policy for every software and decide individually).

I expect a common perspective to be that data analytics should be opt-in and then it's fine. Or in other scenarios there might be some hypocrisy (QS for me, but not for thee), but that's not inconsistent.

@mike
Outgroup heterogeneity + two buttons meme is bad + against fuck nuance + L + "I think you'll find it is a bit more complicated than that"

@pseudoriemann Only if it's a good post

Most of my good posts don't get much interaction 🤔

@alexthecamel
Weird shit (circling, polyamory)≠Weird shit (wild animal suffering, caring about the long term future, AGI ruin)

The former I weakly suspect is bad, the latter is extremely important and losing the ability to consider it would be horrendous.

@flengyel Nah. Some professor for astronomy dead-set on hating starlink, very likely because she dislikes Elon Musk
