This weekly roundup thread is intended for all culture war posts. 'Culture war' is vaguely defined, but it basically means controversial issues that fall along set tribal lines. Arguments over culture war issues generate a lot of heat and little light, and few deeply entrenched people ever change their minds. This thread is for voicing opinions and analyzing the state of the discussion while trying to optimize for light over heat.
Optimistically, we think that engaging with people you disagree with is worth your time, and so is being nice! Pessimistically, there are many dynamics that can lead discussions on Culture War topics to become unproductive. There's a human tendency to divide along tribal lines, praising your ingroup and vilifying your outgroup - and if you think you find it easy to criticize your ingroup, then it may be that your outgroup is not who you think it is. Extremists with opposing positions can feed off each other, highlighting each other's worst points to justify their own angry rhetoric, which becomes in turn a new example of bad behavior for the other side to highlight.
We would like to avoid these negative dynamics. Accordingly, we ask that you do not use this thread for waging the Culture War. Examples of waging the Culture War:
-
Shaming.
-
Attempting to 'build consensus' or enforce ideological conformity.
-
Making sweeping generalizations to vilify a group you dislike.
-
Recruiting for a cause.
-
Posting links that could be summarized as 'Boo outgroup!' Basically, if your content is 'Can you believe what Those People did this week?' then you should either refrain from posting, or do some very patient work to contextualize and/or steel-man the relevant viewpoint.
In general, you should argue to understand, not to win. This thread is not territory to be claimed by one group or another; indeed, the aim is to have many different viewpoints represented here. Thus, we also ask that you follow some guidelines:
-
Speak plainly. Avoid sarcasm and mockery. When disagreeing with someone, state your objections explicitly.
-
Be as precise and charitable as you can. Don't paraphrase unflatteringly.
-
Don't imply that someone said something they did not say, even if you think it follows from what they said.
-
Write like everyone is reading and you want them to be included in the discussion.
On an ad hoc basis, the mods will try to compile a list of the best posts/comments from the previous week, posted in Quality Contribution threads and archived at /r/TheThread. You may nominate a comment for this list by clicking on 'report' at the bottom of the post and typing 'Actually a quality contribution' as the report reason.

How do you justify that? I'm just applying logic like that upwards with more consistency.
I support a non-human super intelligence, yes. It could be alien or sillicon based as long as it has superior qualia/consciousness. As Nietzsche writes, the Übermensch will not be a human, it will merely be evolved from humans biologically. A human is a particular animal that has been around in forms biologically close to now for a few thousand years. Predecessors from before that are at the very least racially distinct.
No, because it is evolved, there won't be low IQ people in it at all. So it will be an incredibly jovial and wonderful place.
It's hard to categorize it as either selfish or non-selfish. I would be a low status member of such a society, if I would even make the cut. I am, after all, merely a human. I think I will die before 2100 and that I won't get to personally benefit from the fruit of a society like this, but I still see it as good for it to come about. What is really selfish, to me, is egalitarianism. It's a form of mass selfishness, where people get together and decide rank selfishness is fine as long as there are a lot of other people just like them being similarly selfish. This is where you get illogical speciesism is two directions from. Subjugate those below, prevent the coming about of those above, never question why the median person today is apparently supposed to be perfect and infinitely deserving given this behavior. Call anybody who opposes the maximally self-serving stable egalitarian coalition a variety of names, including selfish or self-serving, böse, a dictator, enemy of our democracy, etc.
No it doesn't. First and foremost my model says smart people should stop having their own wealth redistributed away from them. Second it says reverse the redistribution, which is fair after all of the years of servitude. The lower people owe a debt for taking from the higher for so long. Third, it doesn't have to go to things smart people want. Primarily, it should go to the reproduction of smart people, which is typically undesired by smart people themselves. It shouldn't go to more leisure or vacations from the start.
Are you a vegan? Chickens, cows, and pigs definitely experience real suffering by being butchered too. Unfortunately I selfishly struggle to cut out all meat, but I don't eat pork because they are more intelligent than cows and chicken, and I make effort to avoid buying factory farmed meat. I'm of the opinion that grass fed cows seem pretty happy and lack the intelligence to know that they will be killed in the future. It's possible to kill them painlessly and without them knowing. I'm also optimistic about lab grown meat as an alternative to farmed meat and its perfection by the close of this century.
