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.

He claims he turned against Trump after the Capitol Putsch, so the two halves would be 2009-2019 and 2020-2026. He actually celebrated Trump's second inauguration with his post about how everyone knows Richard Lynn was right but cowardly liberals pretend to believe blacks and whites are equal.
I thought his posts about "women don't like Nice Guys" ended around 2013 like a lot of shouting about gender online? Dating a young cam-person and sex blogger in 2014 must have improved his mood even if the relationship did not last.
Curiously, something else happened around that time which also gives a natural delimiter: he renamed his blog after being dark for half a year. The blog formerly known as SSC was reborn as ~~ACT~~ ACX two weeks after the January 6th riot.
That was when he got a very gentle NYT bio and flipped his lid.
Back in the old days, if you got found out for a race science and men's rights internet instigator, there was the slight possibility that you might actually have to deal with negative real-life implications.
Sigh.
So it was! As an aside, Substack's archival navigation is awful (search and the infinite scroll seem the only way to navigate). https://slatestarcodex.com/2021/01/21/introducing-astral-codex-ten/
Ah yes, the everyone in the continent of Africa and parts of Asia is secretly heavily developmentally disabled, my friend Cremieux who's definitely a highly accredited biologistician and not a college drop out who's also a nazi thinks this as well post.
Re the incel stuff I think the regulars grew older so it doesn't come up as much outside the comments, which remain a safe space for this type of whining.
It's not really extricable from the eugenics iinspired bioessentialism that's encouraged there I think.
