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.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Have a sneer percolating in your system but not enough time/energy to make a whole post about it? Go forth and be mid!

Any awful.systems sub may be subsneered in this subthread, techtakes or no.

If your sneer seems higher quality than you thought, feel free to cut'n'paste it into its own post, there’s no quota here and the bar really isn't that high

The post Xitter web has spawned soo many “esoteric” right wing freaks, but there’s no appropriate sneer-space for them. I’m talking redscare-ish, reality challenged “culture critics” who write about everything but understand nothing. I’m talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. They’re inescapable at this point, yet I don’t see them mocked (as much as they should be)
Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldn’t be surgeons because they didn’t believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I can’t escape them, I would love to sneer at them.

Thank fuck this is on twitter, narrowly avoiding the psychic damage

Awful at a technical level, tedious at a textual level, overall baffling that there is an audience for this. Everyone seems at times politely humoring to openly bored. The least interesting conversation happening at the worst party you've ever been to.

Please regard this video as a performance of No Exit.

have these Dork Enlightenment fuckwits gone so whacko they've wrapped around to the other side of conspiracies and myths?!

Transhumanism descended from Fyodorov's Cosmism, the Ineffectual Dork Web is shot through with whatever batshit Jordan Peterson is on, LessWrong can't tell that Christopher Langan is a kook....

I’d call this the Desert Bus of sneering material, but that’d be terribly unfair to Desert Bus
