I feel like “gifted” is doing a lot of work here and feeding the “sociopathy = intelligence” narrative. What did any of these people make? What actual insights (instead of fantasies of superiority) did any of them have?

The thing I feel like the media continues to not get is Elon doing Nazi salutes isn’t even really about his personal, closely held beliefs. He knows it’s a Bad Guy Look. He’s relishing playing the villain. He’s never met a consequence, so it’s a game. It’s fun to play the Big Bad.

If anyone could point me to a single example, in the past 15 years, of a conservative outlet telling it's audience to stop calling Dems baby-murdering pedophiles and try to understand them, I would be appreciative. If you can find it from a non-conservative/mainstream outlet that's cool too.

CVS is sending me notifs about the Hep B vaccine. I wonder why they’d be pushing that right now.

This is why I keep saying we need to define violence by its outcome rather than the physical action involved. A polite conversation in a board room can be violence.

if you had told me you could tell me a story in which I would end up sympathizing with the people on LessWrong as the least awful faction I would have slapped you through my laptop yet here we are www.wired.com/story/deliri...

“Acute necrotizing encephalitis” sure sounds to me, a non-doctor, like “something is suddenly eating their brains”
