When the going gets weird the weird turn pro.
Director of Effective Altruism DC andymasley.com
- Nothing would confuse my 2009 self more than going back and telling him transhumanism is now right-coded
- When I'm President Donna Haraway is getting assigned in middle school
- Another take that seems incredibly obvious to me (Andrea's, not who she's responding to) and yet it's very common for me and others to get called right wing for saying the natural order isn't necessarily good
- One of the most joker-fying things that regularly happens to me is people telling me "Isn't it IRONIC that EAs claimed to care about global poverty then elected the guy who gutted PEPFAR" while our membership is like 1% Republican and EA as a whole has the politics of a very liberal city.
- A rundown of how TESCREAL I am: Transhumanism: 20% - I agree it would be nice to eventually give people the ability to be radically different, but that all seems far off. Extropian: 0% - This seems kind of silly.
- So much bad discourse with people who would otherwise be on my side stems from this presumption that it's somehow not progressive to be a physicalist
- I'm finding a lot more value here than a few months ago, not sure why but the vibes are different
- Emily Bender just keeps responding in pretty weird ways about me, now saying the reason I'm complaining here is that she asked to be treated as fully human. (1/4)
