Both read like “look, you might have heard rumors that they’re bad because of X, but here’s the more nuanced version,” and basically give the sort of defense that Scott Alexander would give. About feminism, he mostly brings up Scott Aaronson’s Comment #171 and Scott Alexander’s response to the response, Scott Alexander’s explanation of why there are so few female computer programmers (because of the distribution of interests varying by sex), and the overreaction to James Damore. On neoreaction, he brings up Moldbug’s posts on Overcoming Bias, More Right, and Michael Anissimov, and says ‘comment sections are the worst’ and ‘if you’re all about taking ideas seriously and discussing them civilly, people who have no other discussion partners will seek you out.’
