What a twat. "It's much harder to bullshit people than to be rigorous and skeptical guys. Not only is everything fine, I'm actually a better person than ALL my critics"

Yeah, that is really depressing.

I think it's a sunk cost thing for the authors, but also it could be fear of coming off as "disgruntled" to people they're hoping to communicate with. They still have hope of changing these communities, but they know these communities are very hostile and dismissive towards any criticism, especially criticism from perceived "enemies". They also don't want to lose whatever power and respect they have in those communities. So emphasising how great these groups are and how smart all the members are and how much they got out of being a member is a tactic to try and get around all that hostility. They want to flatter the remaining members enough that they'll retain their respect for them. Which in itself is a sad comment on the attitudes common in these communities.

Some good news for once: Dublin punk bar the Thomas House have had enough of AI slop.

Psychological assessments of her were made by a Danish-speaking psychologist. Kronvold, whose first language is Kalaallisut (West Greenlandic), is not fluent in Danish.

She's entitled to a "default mode of victimhood"! She is your victim!

"poor people have had it too good for too long and slavery is the only answer. I consider myself a pragmatic centrist"

The solution for people in extreme poverty with zero access to healthcare is to get them healthcare, not to boil oceans so that silicon valley people can get rich from giving them disastrously bad medical advice.

He looks like younger, bow-tie era Tucker Carlson. Twat.

That's because there is no "movement" and the whole thing is a stunt to promote the ideas of the least thoughtful of all the unthoughtful people who nonetheless consider themselves intellectuals.

They bought this house and the one next door for $575,000; they allow their neighbours to live in the second house rent free, in exchange for childcare.
