It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

MODERATORS
People like this dude should be shot. Like they're not even capable of being re-educated.
Really brutal reeducation camps for people like this. Really annoying when the dumbest person in any given room has everything "figured out" and "proven"
Counterpoint: Wall
we will build an artificial superintelligence capable of simulating 10^100^ versions of roko undergoing communist re-education
Rokos modern life
Roko's Basilisk is a silly little sci-fi story that its creator calls a "thought experiment" because he considers himself an intellectual. Absolute moron.
the intellectual we deserve, much like kermit peterson
"...which is mainly male due to men because men..."
Truly one of our greatest minds.
Ricky: I’m gonna give you this UBI to fuck off.
Nice! A previously undiscovered species of brain worm!
Ngl the being paid to do whatever for 20 years sounds pretty nice
I fucking hate nuclear energy types, because their arguments generally boil down to "no we don't have to address the issues inherent in the capitalist system that has led us to the brink of climate collapse, we have a panacea! It's actually not dangerous at all, because the times that it was dangerous didn't count because they were built/run poorly." They never stop to consider that nuclear power plants are built/run poorly because of capitalism and they WILL continue to be dangerous as long as we are driven by a lust for mammon.
And yeah he's also weird about women. Also a dipshit talking about facts while knowing none. He should drown.
Obviously this is dumb but it's weirdly more 'progressive' than I expected? Like women would get guaranteed lifetime UBI without restrictions on their behavior?

A belief in true meritocracy based on biological determinism? In my Rational Thinker?
I fucking love science!
And by that I mean gesturing to mathematics and evolution in an insane attempt to justify my 19th century robber baron views on gender! I am so fucking smart!
This variance and right tail bullshit was popularized by Steven Pinker. He is not insane like what's-his-name "philosopher" (let me Google) Jordan Peterson. But he just smiles and calmly explains "don't be afraid of scientific data. they tell the truth. come closer. look at what they are saying. The data says women and people of color... well don't run away now. be rational. :)"
I read all of that junk just when it could've been summed up with:
"I've never had intimate contact with a woman in my entire life."
SMH
in awe at the phrase "almost prove it mathematically." this is rigorous scientific analysis folks.
Hey this guy has looked a distribution before, he's got TAILS
I have no idea who this is, and I'm sure I never want to know.
He came up with the dumbest take on AI that scared the stupidest tech bros and they treat it as a Pascal's wager level piece of philosophy
I wanna invent a device that slaps people every time they say "wokeness"
Clearly the people who are responsible for the most worth in the economy are people who tell scary stories about robots, like Roko here, and not maids, grocery workers or waitresses. You can tell because they're paid less, see.
Hey he also does crypto grifting.
