Imagine being the only house in your neighborhood that didn't burn down in the Lahaina Fire on August 8, 2023
A lot of people — including a lot of very brilliant people — don’t actually care about having a coherent worldview. Important to keep in mind.
Given a choice between watching Louis C.K. wank or hearing him say that America should be made worse on purpose to reduce global inequality, I know my choice.

People are outraged by the uncanny valleyness of this and its lack of resemblance to Turing. But how would Turing have felt about it?

The two most naturally racially diverse groups of people I have ever seen were a Baptist revival and a shooting range. They required no recruitment, quotas or DEI - and yet they are so rarely admired by progressives.
A very attractive high status man in his late twenties can easily have casual sex with many women. He is in love with his girlfriend but wants to continue to have lots of casual sex. She says she is willing to try a one sided open relationship. What is your advice for him?
I’m selfishly glad the Politico piece was just about the conference and not the post party, where I was espousing my extremist views such as “I am currently pregnant and I can’t wait to meet baby”
Despite rewards for effort, many people procrastinate and cease working. This is termed the “effort paradox”: Though effort leads to rewards, it feels highly aversive. Here, we asked Why? And how can Conscientious humans avoid this problem? sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
@charlesmurray Animals overlap in intelligence with humans. Are humans always worth more to God in virtue of their species membership? Or does God value an African grey parrot (smarter than a severely mentally disabled person) as much as a member of God's chosen species?
Economists see inspiring John Oliver segment on debt relief, conduct a randomized trial to forgive $169 million in medical debt, find this has no effect on quality of life or future financial distress at all.
@robinhanson @sentientist @KuypersMarieke @RebeccaSear One can in principle argue every DNA is equally valid, but it generates odd implications together with normative views that have a duty to care (eg. that significant resources ought to be spent on helping nonviable embryos thrive in their own unique individual way).
"My death will break the more direct relations between my present experiences and future experiences but it will not break various other relations. This is all there is to the fact... Now that I have seen this, my death seems to me less bad." Parfit on the comforts of his view
@politico This is an incredibly ignorant and partisan take. Also, five months late. It will age so poorly that I think Politico will wish they hadn't published it. It will mainly serve as a historical marker for how detached Politico was from reality in 2024. This was not a far-right…
Are domesticated male animals more or less likely to take care of their young compared to their wild counterparts? Would appreciate any pointers to books or articles!
A T-rex weighs somewhere between 1600 and 3000 times more than a chicken, meaning that you'd have to raise and kill thousands of chickens to make as many meals as killing one T-rex. So, obviously, killing and eating a T-rex is more moral than killing and eating a chicken.

The thing where ppl are like "ppl aren't productive at jobs anyway, we spend 2-6 hours goofing off" is so white collar. Not a single soul I knew in Idaho had a job you could be unproductive at without getting fired. 8+ hours of intense work, every day.
everybody i know spends like 2 hours/day fucking around at their job anyway so they should just let people do 6 hours of intense work, 30 hours a week. if you worked 8-2 you literally wouldn't even have to take lunch. i srsly think this would be net good for productivity

@waitbutwhy Kinda partly true. Except, as Darwin (1871) documented, at great length, many other species have a sense of beauty, which they use in mate choice. And what they consider 'beautiful' is not arbitrary, but is often a reliable signal of health, fertility, competence, good genes,…

I kind of soft-launched "tolyamorous" in this thread. Didn't use the word in this thread — new word! newly coined! by me! — but was clearly turning the idea over in my head.
@sentientist Certainly not pigs. In my experience boars can and will kill their offspring.
@sentientist Not that I’ve noticed. It is possible to select for any trait you want, but the domestication syndrome is essentially a neotenization process. Orthogonal to child rearing.
@sentientist The only place I can think of where this question could be studied would be the mouse utopia experiments. But the problem is domestication wasn’t the real experiment, it was more of a taking away of any survival pressures. Which has a lot of overlap with domestication. In mouse…
