These people are full of shit popping off like they do after THREE kids. Big fucking deal, my parents had three, and my brother and I were accidents. And they let us have heat in the winter and they didn’t hit us. Three is still normal!
There are some more lovely sneers in r/longreads
This is part of a whole thing where the journalist keeps presenting their framing without question.
Yuuup, and at no point is it explicitly mentioned that what they're doing is entirely unfeasible on a societal level. How on Earth will a couple dozen rationalist having 4, 7, or even 11 kids make up for the hundreds of millions of women in America having 1.5? Or the billions of women having under 2.1 kids in the rest of the world.
On top of that, they only have 3 kids and they've already put a shit ton of time and sunk themselves over half a million in debt just for housing and childcare. I absolutely believe these two can afford it, but this isn't something most Americans can achieve, much less most global families. One couple trying to outfuck global population decline would be like if I tried to end global poverty by becoming really, really rich.
It must have some internal models of some things, or else it wouldn’t be possible to consistently make coherent and mostly reasonable statements.
Talk about begging the question
Also he used to be u/imaxblue. 3 years ago today this man was making 2 sentence horror stories and posting pictures of his dratini plush, all while speaking in uwu xd talk. All while decrying wokism on his substack.
The craziest part is that this is just every tenth guy on the web right now. Man I used to be terminally online, but every time I see the newest micro celebrity I feel like I'm in freak central.
Proof (he links his substack): https://www.reddit.com/r/uwaterloo/comments/kl4oz0/well_yes_i_am_an_expert_in_epidemiology/gh6vfiz/?context=3
That Floyd tweet was fantastically dim-witted, so much more so than I expected from the headline. This unaltered video of a man's death is a deepfake not because it was doctored, nor because it's misleading, but because it gave progressive beliefs I don't like. And all that was sandwiched between an AI plug. His point was that AI would somehow shit all over the libs and he doesn't explain how, not even a little bit.
How do these weird ass neolib AI freakazoids keep getting cited in mainstream sites?
A good portion of online rw politics is just a desparate cry for pussy blanketed with callous dogma.
He does have a point though. The TTS does sound pretty different from "Her".
...but it also sounds a shit ton like Johansson in general. Which would make sense if it was trained on a corpus of her speaking rather than just clips from the one movie.
I mean come on, it sounds like chatGPT's about to tell me that the sun's getting real low.
Begging the question is a fallacy in which the premise of an argument presupposes the truth of its conclusion; in other words, the argument takes for granted what it's supposed to prove.
In Critical Thinking (2008), William Hughes and Jonathan Lavery offer this example of question-begging: "Morality is very important, because without it people would not behave according to moral principles."
Used in this sense, the word beg means "to avoid," not "ask" or "lead to." Begging the question is also known as a circular argument, tautology, and petitio principii (Latin for "seeking the beginning").

Is that a recent change? I feel like I've seen a fair number of dead links on Wikipedia, mainly on older unpopular articles
He looks like the child Taron Egerton's Eggsy and Scott Alexander
