Oh. Looks like people are (once again) figuring out that silicon valley and effective altruism and longtermism and the rest are all bound up root to ass with eugenics and white supremacy.

So: Welcome to the party; there are a LOT of academics, researchers, and people with direct lived experience, already here.

I really don't understand how all those things become brainworms for people superficially like me (white, cis-male, hetero, ...).

I've met far too many people like me (in those superficial ways) who are less than mediocre (intellectually) and many people who aren't like me (in those superficial ways) who are smart/brilliant/creative.

I lament all the lost creative energy from those whose ideas get ignored in favour of brainworm ideas like these.

I also have noticed that you never meet someone who is really into Nietzsche who thinks he himself is not one of the übermenschen.

"I totally think Nietzsche has it right. But I also realize that I'm a natural slave, so I'm just looking to serve the will of my betters.”
