I have a better counter narrative:

• Consequentialism
• Universalism
• Meta-analytical
• Singularitarianism
• Heuristicationalism
• Autodidacticalisticalistalism
• Retro-regresso-revisionism
• Transhumanisticiousnessness
• Exo-galactic-civilisationalismnisticalism
• Rationalist

Can’t think of a good acronym though, but it’s a start

they should just touch GRASS

Guided Rationalist Acceptance of Socionormality Studies

[...] it actually has surprisingly little to do with any of the intellectual lineages that its proponents claim to subscribe to (Marxism, poststructuralism, feminism, conflict studies, etc.) but is a shockingly pervasive influence across modern culture to a greater degree than even most people who complain about it realize.

I mean, when describing TESCREAL Torres never had to argue that it's adherents were lying or incorrect about their own ideas. It seems like whenever someone tries this kind of backlash they always have to add in a whole mess of additional layers that are somehow tied to what their interlocutors really believe.

I'm reminded, ironically, of Scott's (imo very strong) argument against the NRx category of "demotist" states. It's fundamentally dishonest to create a category that ties together both the innocuous or positive things your opponents actually believe and some obnoxious and terrible stuff, and then claim that the same criticisms apply to all of them.

Also "orate" is a fucking verb

I'll buy that for a fully-depreciated H100 GPU

EOk, I know I said I dont like TESCREAL as a term (too much groups under one banner, feels like how everybody on the left of the right gets called a communist/liberal, and it just isnt catchy as a term, easy to misuse) butt this has turned me around. If they write articles like this and show their whole ass im all for it.

Im sure Ottokar asked chatgpt for advice on this and it told him how much of a great writer he is and how much he is on to something.

(Or this new user on LW is just trolling and 22 upvoters fell for it).

a four-centuries-long counterrevolution within the arts to defend the validity of charismatic authority

If this gets a followup please make it a separate posts. I see soo many potential sneers. Also wonder of we can eventually bring up Godel (drink) in re to his claims about science and objectivity.

(Also as they are being pro science and anti-charismatic authority, are they going to get rid of Yud and Scott? (im obv joking here, I know they them describing us as being pro charisma/anti science/anti objectivity does not make them automatically pro that)).

E: another reason why these kinds of meta level discussions are silly, they are leaving out the big elephants in the room. The elephants called, sexism, racism, scientific racism, anti-lgbt stuff, the fellating of billionaires, the constant creation of new binary ideas which they say are not intended to be hierarchical but clearly meta level is better than object level, soldiers claiming they have a scout mindset, etc.

As in a database? What?

This is a bundle which originated out of anti-Calvinist polemics written by Catholic and royalist Anglican writers during the early modern period, was picked up by 19th century romantic reactionaries to build the foundation of the emerging Counter-Enlightenment, got carried into the 20th century by various counter-modern literary movements seeking a third way against both capitalism and socialism which could justify the continuing relevance of the traditional humanistic disciplines against the new challenge of the social and psychological sciences, transitioned from being primarily of the political right to the political left because of the ideological aftermaths of WW2 and 1968, and took on its modern form in environmental and anti-globalization activism in the 90s

Parkour! So nazis weren't left-wing but they switched after the war, brilliant.

It is the actual source of the post-60s ideological transformation against the ideas of rationality, science, objectivity, and progress on the left

Pfffffff, lol, what? xD Ye, the left, famously anti-science, unlike the rational thinkers that reside in the White House right now

Oh you thought TESCREAL sounded fancy huh? Well I'll raise you a BIGGER word!
