What does everyone think of Eliezer Yudkowsky?
I just realized this website was born from /r/TheMotte, which came from /r/slatestarcodex, which came from Scott Alexander, who came from LessWrong, which was created by Eliezer himself. He's technically a grandfather of this community.
I for one think he's more influential than he's given credit for, and I consider myself lucky to have come across his writings in my younger days.
It's so interesting to see High IQ white people slowly realising the architecture.
The most dangerous group on the planet and yet the most in the dark.
Can't wait to see what you boys do when you finally wake up!

He messed up the power dynamic. Girls love guys who are in love with themselves.

Yes, and I absolutely love it. It seems all the sci fi I consumed when I was young is coming to life.
I like fitness and learning which means I'm going to go down the biohacking route more so than the fall in love with non-human minds route. (I'm not judging, I think it's good people find comfort and companionship no matter how it's delivered.)
If this is not a worldwide technological false start and we are turning into a type II civilisation, I'll probably have at least 3 non organic body parts within the next 40 years.

What happens when women don’t get attention?
The old adage says men want sex the way women want attention. But attention, unlike sex, seems easier to come by... for now.
As dating grows more complex, and sometimes risky for men, we’re seeing the rise of alternatives: AI girlfriends, VR porn, sex robots. Add to that a growing visibility of trans women in romantic spaces, and a strange new question emerges:
What happens when women can no longer command attention?
We know what many men do when they’re denied sex or companionship. They turn inward or rage outward. Some retreat to forums. Some go monk mode. Some hit the gym. A few, tragically, turn violent.
But when women can’t get even a glance, no matter how they dress, how they walk, or how perfect their makeup is, what then?
I suspect they won't react like men.
I can't possibly imagine what this guy has done to make you say this
