Sadly the article is behind a paywall and I am loath to give Scott my money
the coolness cred of “accelerationism”
The urge to stuff into a locker is overwhelming.
People who use the term “race realism” unironically are telling on themselves.
It’s convenient that the stuff about “race realism” is hidden behind the paywall. It makes it much easier for Scott’s many defenders to continue to paint him as some sort of left-libertarian.
Siskind’s always been pretty explicit about it, you get banned if you broach so-called culture war topics in the open threads. They ended up with two subreddits for similar reasons.
Between this and EY seemingly being a huge fan of employing gullibility filters, one might argue that many of the most prominent rationalists aren’t necessarily the most candid of characters.
Maybe Scott is a very honest and insightful person who writes to us from reverse world.
