So, I am supposed to weigh my reactions to the statements “Religious people are irrational.” and “Women are irrational”. And if I react differently to those two statements, that demonstrates what, exactly?
I’ve never seen someone at LW say something like the second statement. The fact that you bring it up demonstrates a very different impression of LW discourse than mine.
It wasn’t intended as an example of LW discourse. It was a reductio ad absurdum of the suggestion that LW attitudes toward religion are an example of the “un-PC stuff” that Vladimir_M and komponisto were suggesting as thought experiment material.
I would be curious as to how you think that the thought experiment suggested by komponisto should be stated in this case.

Most of the value of a education is signalling. Differences in intelligence between individuals is significantly determined by genetics. Group differences. ect.
