Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

"Kicked out of a ... group chat" is a peculiar definition of "offline consequences".
"The first time I ever suffered offline consequences for a social media post"- Hey Gang, I think I found the problem!
I have no idea where he stood on the bullshit bad faith free speech debate from the past decade, but this would be funny if he was an anti cancel culture guy. More things, weird bubble he lives in if the other things didn't get pushed back, and support for the pro trans (and pro Palestine) movements. He is right on the immigration bit however, the dems should move more left on the subject. Also 'Blutarsky' and I worried my references are dated, that is older than I am.
he's a centrist econ blogger who's been getting into light race science
I'm a centrist. I think we should aim for the halfway point between basic human decency and hateful cruelty. I'm also willing to move towards the hateful cruelty to appease the right, because I'm a moderate.
And he is brave enough to say that:
There is a sensible compromise somewhere between the Biden/Harris immigration bill that would have got rid of due process for suspected illegal immigrants and the Trump policy of just throwing dark people into vans for shipment to slave labour camps.
Genocide is just sensible bipartisanship.
Trans people are not people.
Much centrist, much sensible. Much surprise he is getting into race science. It the centre (defined as the middle ground of Attila and Mussolini) moves, the principled centrist must move with it.
yeah I tried looking up his writings on the subject but substack was down. Counted that as a win and stopped looking.
