Did you seriously link writing by cryptofascist Scott Siskind? Dude needs a disclaimer.
Would you be willing to say more? I read a bunch of his stuff years ago and didn't come away with that feeling, but I also acknowledge I was in a kind of "fun new ideas I stumbled onto" naive phase at that time and wasn't thinking all that critically. And then just moved on outta boredom eventually.
I do, FWIW, vaguely understand his connection to the "rationalist" (fuckin turbo eye roll) community and the kinds of...creatures that comprise the major figures there (a Harry Potter fanfic taken as this illuminating, brilliant piece of discourse? holy shit this is S-tier own-fart-sniffing).
But Scott in particular struck me as compassionate and thoughtful, I didn't get gross vibes. But hey, bro is quite verbose and intelligent and maybe he just hid it ~well and I missed it.
https://www.eruditorumpress.com/blog/the-beigeness-or-how-to-kill-people-with-bad-writing-the-scott-alexander-method I remember this being a pretty reasonable critique.
Anything he writes on feminism also.
Thank you, I'll give it a read!
