It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

A Dunk on Scott Alexander (the guy behind SSC, an internet "rationalist" community). Basically super pro-silicon valley, "AI will save us" types who hate arts, lgbtq+, women and bipocs. They're scared of imaginary snakes .

He's smart enough to not outright believe in Roko's Basilisk but dumb enough to take it seriously and earnestly debate people on the subject.

i find this guy very annoing you would think that for all his arrogance he would be a phd in phisics or math or some computer stuff. But he is a psichologist. Yet he has several posts discussing the rigth interpretation of quantum something or other when he probably cant do calculus.

Has Scott Alexander ever been right?

His anti Neo-Reactionary work was good, which is why of course he's now disavowed it and is surreptitiously supportive of them.
