    Didnt the zizians also literally protest one of his events and got arrested for that? Or was that a different group they were protesting. Seems weird to not look them up at all. Very ‘ideological turing test’ failure levels.

    Also funny that his logic would mean he doesnt look into Nelson Mandela.

    E: also iffy he tosses the animal rights people (partially) under the bus for no reason. EA animal rights will love that.

      Yeah, his rational is something something “threats” something something “decision theory”, which has the obvious but insane implication that you should actually ignore all protests (even peaceful protestors that meet his lib centrist ideals of what protests ought to be) because that is giving into the protestors “threats” (i.e. minor inconveniences, at least in the case of lib-brained protests) and thus incentivizing them to threaten you in the first place.

      he tosses the animal rights people (partially) under the bus for no reason. EA animal rights will love that.

      He’s been like this a while, basically assuming that obviously animals don’t have qualia and obviously you are stupid and don’t understand neurology/philosophy if you think otherwise. No, he did not even explain any details of his certainty about this.
