    I especially remember how Michael Anisimov went from “everyone is a Jupiter Brain” to “Socially Conservative uploading” to “I’m an open nazi”

    I’m still disgusted that so many less-scratched liberals made so many excuses for Nick Land’s drug-powered cyber-nazi fever dreams, too.

      After a century of “Dumb Nietzsche” philosophers they fall for the dumbest of them, a guy so stupid that if he wasn’t obfuscating it by name dropping Baudrillard would make Ayn Rand look like an intellectual titan

        They already decided that they were the Very Smartists, I mean “Rationalists,” that are “Less Wrong” than the rest of us mortal rabble, so of course whatever their “grey tribe” leaders decide is the “greyest” non-ideological ideology is the one that’s the most Very Smart, Rational, and the Least Wrong.

        That just so happens to be the guy into drug-powered cyber-nazi fever dreams. no-mouth-must-scream hitler-detector

          Oh man, I just saw a post by Big Yud and he literally states that people who heavily disagree with him are either stupid or insane and frankly that’s the sort of thing that gets you a bolt of lightning from the gods for hubris

            For some bewildering reason, Ross Scott of Accursed Farms and Freeman’s Mind actually gave Big Yud a platform to talk about his Dark Enlightenment power fantasies and he had the patience of a saint considering how much Big Yud was jerking himself off the entire time.
