  Nothing. It’s dead. Seems to be a grift at this point

  on: The Case For Bullying

  Just a quick comment from my side:

  PLEASE JUST READ YUDKOWSKY’S SEQUENCES

  This post has received a lot of downvotes so far with NO substantive counter arguments from you guys. Please don’t be misled by your emotions and try to look beyond the surface layer. Substance >> Style

  It looks to me you’re falling prey to some trivial Russell Conjugation. Please reread the sequences and take the following to heart:

  “the real secret to rationality is noticing when someone is saying something for reasons unrelated to its truthfulness, and then applying this to yourself”

  I’m open to changing my stance, I just want to figure out the actual truth. Common guys, you’re better than this

  “Bullying has distinct negative connotation”

  I mention the concept of Russell Conjugation multiple times in my article. Did you read it?

  “Bullies have bad intentions”

  Intentions don’t matter, results do. That’s why capitalism works

  Hi Justin, I already read both the posts you linked there.

  My desire for Truth is overwhelmingly strong, I would change my stance if anyone would present some actual counter-arguments that go beyond the surface level.

  Will give longer rebuttal later, am currently on vacation in Spain 🤝
