There's scarcely any genuine debate among these right-wing nerds because they've a priori ruled out most of accepted and collectively decided human knowledge as "woke" and corrupted by Marxism and so forth. Their fanatical anticommunism has eaten away at their intellects to the point that they're now coming up with half-assed reinventions of existing fields and concepts, because they refuse to engage with the larger intellectual community.

I'm sure that if I looked up Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality on #YouTube I'd find dozens, hundreds, maybe THOUSANDS of well-argued refutations of Yudkowsky's ideology as explicated in his #HarryPotter fanfic. But there'd be ever so much more sycophantic praise and lengthy orations about Yudkowsky's genius, because sentimental hogwash is the element in which "conservatives" swim. (cont'd)
