David Gerardhere's the amazing Vibecamp essay where the rationalists talk about "microdosing" meth if they can't take the adderall to become a financial genius like Scoot promised them
Amoeba_GirlOf course I ignore your warnings and proceed to read this shit from the beginning.
And before you say, as many people I’m sure will, that language changes or evolves and so forth: shall I presume many of you have no objection to being called ‘nazis’ in the standard twitter-left definition? Shall I treat all drunk sex as ‘rape’ because kidnapper-rape and frat-sex have the commonality of reduced consent? Shall I treat your remarks about this-or-that group as ‘hate speech’, or ‘violence’, in the form of speech? Clearly, we have some sense by which concept creep exists; by which definitions can be stretched dishonestly. That is what you’re doing, and you know what you’re doing.
Cool. Cool. This is fun.
slopjockeyI REALLY don’t wanna rank rapes, but isn’t frat rape an archetypal rape? It’s unambiguously terrible to the point that the only defense the perpetrators can mount is that it didn’t happen. This is like decrying the expansion of murder to include defenstration along side the more traditional bludgeoning and stabbing.
I REALLY don’t wanna rank rapes
However, rationalists do want to rank rapes, as paella recently did. …substack.com/…/the-rape-spectrum-survey-results (tw: rape obviously, paella, idk prolly other stuff i just looked at the graphic)
