minus-squareblakestacey@awful.systemsMlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·9 months agoThis piece links to a recent New York Times story about our very good friends, by Cade Metz. Nothing in it will surprise SneerClub regulars too much, including how it ends up giving Yudkowsky too much credit. It says that the Sequences taught critical thinking, when they were cult shit all along; it says that in HPMoR, Harry uses real science, which is balderdash. (If anyone says “Gell-Mann amnesia” I will fucking cut you.)
