I realize being an important singularity person who doesn't write sci-fi is essentially meaningless, but this is still depressing.

    If you must eat a phoenix, boil it, do not roast it. This only encourages their mischievous habits.

    what does this mean myrmidon


    tell me what this means

    Taki's mag is an ultra-right wing magazine for racists.

    Oh.


    This is bad because it's racist. Why is it bad that the dude's also a singularity person? :V

    I guess it just reinforces the stereotype that a lot of singularityists are white, wealthy guys hoping that in the future being white and wealthy will get them even more privileges.

    This Taki's Mag looks like fun. You know, start a blog, throw insulting and disparaging remarks around, like Cracked with more bile. Sort of like listening to two questionably sober bums discussing politics.


    edit: so far it seems like bums I'd agree with, but I'm reading onward.

    An argument could be made for that. Heck, it might even be a bit emancipatory to look if the newest methods of describing other cultures aren't just as guilty of cramming the Other into the philosophical box of popular theory du jour. Being shouted down and accused of unsavoury biases is nothing new when operating in this manner.


    And then your sentiments are shared by childish proles who feel threatened by the Great Lefty Cabal, to which one automatically belongs to if one has a certain religion or sexual orientation. How annoying.

    It's fun to read this kind of spitefulness once in a while, eh? I like haters. I feel I can relate to them, like a sort of spiritual brotherhood of people who hate other people. The Mockers' Lodge, as poorly as I can translate the concept. Besides, I haven't yet formed a final opinion on that blog (or whatever it is). Seems like a mix of stuff I agree with, stuff I disagree with but consider a legitimate opinion, and stuff that is questionable but haven't yet got me to the point where I dismiss the whole blog.

    I'm a damn twisted person
    What parts of the blog do you agree with?

    Is this the part where you start to prepare tar and feathers?


    Generally speaking - I'm guessing you aren't asking me to post every article I can find that I find agreeable - there is a couple of articles that are borderline racist (or just racist, I can't tell it from my distance), but for an example, I'm fine with their take on bad side of political correctness.

    We are nowhere that barbaric, boiling oil will suffice.

    ^^ I'm relieved.


    As I read into that more articles of some questionability appear, but I'm gonna stick to my opinion that I'm fine with a number of their comments. They have this habit of covering them in disagreeable rhetoric.
