Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

LW: "being a younger brother makes you gay, the Catholic hierarchy is full of younger brothers, ergo 80% of the Vatican is gay"

Considering how rightwingers have tried to link gayness to pedophilia this is a subject I would avoid if I was them. E: and gwern just goes there.
The comments are ... "a hoot"
combines ageism, ableism ,and homophobia into one neat package
Also that weird 'breed early' fetish common in a lot of rw spaces. And last I looked at it this whole 'older people do worse' thing while it mostly seems (it is complicated and lot of things can happen etc)to exist mostly affects the pregnancy less so the child, and even then the effects didnt seem to be big. Not big enough to be relevant here. (But iirc 99.99% of the research in this is only in about pregnancies, so wouldn't put much stock in 'older parents affect on IQ' style research, due to the type of people interested in that).
But im not a researcher, just a person who looked at the stats a couple of years back and apart from pregnancy risk i wasnt that worried.
E: and look at that the op there agrees with me.
