Need to let loose a primal scream without collecting footnotes first? Have a sneer percolating in your system but not enough time/energy to make a whole post about it? Go forth and be mid: Welcome to the Stubsack, your first port of call for learning fresh Awful youāll near-instantly regret.
Any awful.systems sub may be subsneered in this subthread, techtakes or no.
If your sneer seems higher quality than you thought, feel free to cutānāpaste it into its own post ā thereās no quota for posting and the bar really isnāt that high.
The post Xitter web has spawned soo many āesotericā right wing freaks, but thereās no appropriate sneer-space for them. Iām talking redscare-ish, reality challenged āculture criticsā who write about everything but understand nothing. Iām talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. Theyāre inescapable at this point, yet I donāt see them mocked (as much as they should be)
Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldnāt be surgeons because they didnāt believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I canāt escape them, I would love to sneer at them.
(Credit and/or blame to David Gerard for starting this.)
itās extremely established that it does
@froztbyte how to tell me you dont know anything about transhumanism without telling me you dont know anything about transhumanism:
@froztbyte I think @d4rkness is eliding a few steps that look clear to them, but theyāre basically right: eugenics is about all transhumanists can do *today*, a lot of transhumanism is warmed-over Technocracy (the Musk familyās ideological wellspring), Technocracy was *def* on board with eugenics (and apartheid), so here we are: they aspire to more but eugenics is what they can do today so theyāre doing it.
(Iāve been studying transhumanism since roughly 1990 and thatās my considered opinion.)
Iād agree there, and it might be that thatās what they meant, but as you say it still doesnāt leave the two things disconnected. didnāt see them heading in the direction of amusing debate, however!
(Iād wondered from your past writings how long youād been looking into this shit, TIL the year!)
sorry, all the mental pretzels were taken up by the other poster a few days ago, youāll have to contort your nonsense yourself. best avoid the history books though, theyāll make it really hard for you to achieve what you want
type the words ātranshumanism eugenicsā into ddg and see what comes up. but mostly just fuck off tbh
@froztbyte but its not
