Re: slatestarcodex
thats sort of my take. i see him as more of a blowhard than deceitful (though there are clear cases where he is being deceitful).

Re: slatestarcodex
john adams, historys worst president, thought himself far superior to the american people he ruled over, and made very few public addresses. many historians think he never lied, he simply yelled at and made demands of the few around him he was forced to speak to by nature of the position he held.

Re: slatestarcodex
Never Forget: Cade Metz was willing to conceal the identity of a Chapo Trap House bro, but he was willing to Doxx the author of SlateStarCodex.
I believe the rational position to take here is: fuck Cade Metz.

Re: slatestarcodex
Cade Metz was the reporter, right? it would surprise me if he's the one making that decision. but certainly it seems like they do not have a consistently applied policy
u gotta skate
Re: slatestarcodex
Wait, you guys are still mad at the NYT reporter for hypothetically (but not actually) revealing Slate Star Codex Guy's name, but not the New Yorker for definitely doing so?

Re: slatestarcodex
feel like the line 'Actual forgiveness ... is really really hard.' could have used a little extra emphasis given such a perfect setup
Re: slatestarcodex
sounds like hes gonna start writing again but this time get piles of dosh for it from some website also
Re: slatestarcodex
Guy with a huge preexisting audience would be a huge get for an existing platform, but I'm worried that there isn't much dosh in Internet writing right now.

Yeah, I really just wanted to get in on "dosh" early.
