This is “TheRationalist”’s only post on this forum. It is very short; they claim to “tear down” two substantial normative views, but allot each only a single brief paragraph. They define no ambiguous terms and cite no sources for their empirical claims. The claims being made are already very well-understood, and they bring no new insights to the table.
If this person is not simply a troll, then they have not yet learned to make charitable arguments. Engaging charitably with this “argument” is cooperating with a defector.
If I moderated here, I would immediately terminate this person’s account with the expectation that if they make an alt, they will put more effort into their next attempt. I am very supportive of racists studying rationality (it’s a great way to challenge your beliefs!) but not of allowing them to lower the mean quality of conversation.
