OH GODS HOW DID I DO THIS
scott aaronson and scott alexander are different people hhhhhhhhhhngh fuck me
shtetl-optimized ≠ starslatecodex, although hn likes to link both

@er1n :\

i only boosted because i thought it was scott aaronson lol

@amphetamine fuckkkkkkkkk me
what's up with scott alexander though
are people just tired of his rationalist schtick
only other thing i can think of is that he used to be rather transphobic until some people threw a boatload of papers at him and he apparently thought pretty hard about that, which was cool. assuming it wasn't performative.

@er1n yea i mean hyperrationalism stresses me out, it's super narrow and culturally creepy tbh

it's like a vatican of logic theorists to me
