Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

so like a fool I decided to search the web. specifically for which network protocol Lisp REPLs use these days (is it nREPL? or is that just a clojure thing with ambitions?)
and the first extremely SEOed result on ddg was this bizarre blend of an obscure research lisp from 2012 and LLM articles about how Lisp is used in mental health:
Numerous applications and tools are being developed to support mental health and wellness. Among the varied programming languages at the forefront, Lisp stands out due to its unique capabilities in cognitive modeling and behavior analysis.
so I know exactly what this is, but why is this? what even is the game here?
It would appear CNN was also at the eugenics conference? Why are all these mainstream news orgs at a 200-person event where all the speakers are eugenicists and racists?

And in response to an Atlantic subhead saying "Perpetuating humanity should be a cross-politics consensus, but the left was mostly absent at a recent pro-natalism conference":
yeah, weird that the left wasn’t present at the Fourteen Words conference

I mean the left has been mostly absent from America in general since at least the Reagan years, so it's not all that surprising.
They're giving the American people what they voted for
Here's a screenshot of a skeet of a screenshot of a tweet featuring an unusually shit take on WW2 by Moldbug:
edit: hadn't seen yarvin's twitter feed before, that's one high octane shit show.

skeet by Joe Stieb:
Another tweet that should have ended with the first sentence.
Also, I guess I'm a "World War Two enjoyer"
tweet by Curtis Yarvin: There is very very extensive evidence of the Holocaust.
Unfortunately for WW2 enjoyers, the US and England did not go to war to stop the Holocaust. They went to war to stop the Axis plan for world conquest.
There is no evidence of the Axis plan for world conquest.
Oh gosh I looked up the post and that was a mistake. Actually Mr. Yarvin there is quote tweeting someone who dared, on twitter, to say that the Holocaust was real. The replies (including Yarvin's incorrect & off topic nonsense) being about what you'd expect from twitter nowadays. So much Holocaust denial.
I mean, it's not like the holocaust acceptance in that thread is much better.

transcript
The fight is for the inheritance of Rome. The main players are the Anglos, Deutsch, and Russians. The Deutsch are the true heir and have the highest culture. The Anglos and Russians are usurpers.
The Holocaust cannot be taken out of context but must be understood as part of the conditions of total war and the spirit of the age. To this end we need to rethink the nature of morality and consider the true inevitability of tragedy.
The secular Jewish elites have aligned with the Anglos. The Orthodox Jewish elites have aligned with Moscow. The Deutsch have been left to the abyss.
ironically many "WW2 enjoyers" are big fans of German hardware, uniforms and tactics...
The vibe I get is that by 'enjoyers' he means people who thought fighting the nazis in WW2 was morally justified.
Unusually shit take on WW2 but not an unusually shit take from Moldbug. Just the usual level of shit.
I think it's accurate that the US and England didn't join to stop the Holocaust. Sentence 3 is a little oversimplified, and sentence 4 is straight-up lunacy.
Old and busted: whitewashing hitlerism by pretending the holocaust didn't happen.
New hotness: pretending the holocaust just sort of happened one day, completely unrelated to the explicit ideology of the people who planned and executed it and the regime that sanctioned it, and anyway they had their hands full defending themselves against unprovoked attacks by the so-called allies, who can blame them.
I checked the link, the thread elaborates a bit more:
to which my understanding is: this is absolutely true as well.
I found it too, it makes the point that Nazi Germany did nothing wrong in attcking other countries, stealing their products, and enslaving their people" is an argument Putin could have made.
Oh, but you see the axis powers only ever wanted to conquer most of Europe, North Africa, a bunch of islands in the Pacific, most of Southeast Asia, Korea and large parts of mainland China, which the allies would have been completely fine with. Nothing suggests they would actually go for full conquest victory. What is a "Lebensraum"? Is it a type of cheese?
Now hang on how many of those conquests were for actual land grab reasons and how many were because they expected people to take issue with starting massive offensive wars for land grab reasons, especially what with the declared intent to ethnically cleanse at least all of Eastern Europe. That's definitely distinct from planning world conquest, right?
