Yudkowsky’s “dumb maths question” for genetics twitter
(awful.systems)
I searched for “eugenics” on yud’s xcancel (i will never use twitter, fuck you elongated muskrat) because I was bored, got flashbanged by this gem. yud, genuinely what are you talking about
As someone who does kind of like the Golarion setting and enjoyed his time with Pathfinder I'm deeply frustrated to see Yud and company tear all the actual interesting worldbuilding out of Cheliax in order to use the concept of an explicitly lawful evil theocracy to avoid cognitive disonnance about how fucking evil their various eugenics fantasies are. Because of course they're evil, but what if...
I wonder if Yud has biological children? He is mercifully discreet about his home life even if he shares his kinks like he has a five-book contract with Baen Books.
Five-star sneer
considering his confidence in an AI apocalypse I heavily doubt it
He argues that the way to prevent the AI apocalypse is to breed superbabies from high-IQ stock, and a major plot point of Project Lawful is that the hero wants to prove himself worthy of having more children than average and nation he isekais himself to agrees but wants any future children to use their genes for evil.
good point, but also that sentence makes me want to take a long walk outside
maybe Yud just hasn't met a partner "high IQ" enough
Yud was married to a woman in 2019 and mentions other partners and playmates. He said he met her in 2013. The post from 2013 is an infohazard.
huh, interesting
Some LIbertarians avoid marriage or common-law relationships, not sure if Yud has expressed an opinion on the topic though.
