“For the last time, Todd, ‘but what if they were the anime girls’ is not a fresh take! THEY ALL WANT TO BE THE ANIME GIRLS, TODD. ALL OF THEM.”

“KirkGothic has an entire album of Strawberry Rationalist Girl Renegade Angles tagged #ideal form, you COW-BRAINED SUBCORVID.”
Is there a name for the genre of tumblr blog that posts interesting and detailed essays about (equally) interesting things but literally every other post is insufferable garbage?
the rationalists?
We here at the Mitigated Chaos blog like to post good, relatable content that’s in touch with honest working joes, such as attempting to bait rationalists into arguing whether using cybernetics to transform yourself into a fetishized cyborg spider monster is beneficial to the economy.
Truly, this blog has its finger on the pulse of America.
“You need not fear, captain,” said the man. “We are not Social Justice Warriors, but Discourse Monks from the East.”
The guard captain nodded, and the procession of Rationalists filed into the city.
fluffshy said: How are you not involved? You have acted as the core of my experience of the social side of rationalists for months.
as far as I know the rationalists hang out on Facebook and the SSC comment section and in the Bay Area and at various meetups in cities around the world, which I’m not involved in.
The set of Rationalists is defined as such:
The proof of your membership in the set is left as an exercise for the reader.

I’m inside a lot of distinct Tumblr circles apparently. I suppose my dashboard is more of a Venn diagram really.
Used to have more interactions with rationalist Tumblr but if argumate’s not reblogging my posts it just doesn’t happen anymore
Really, I think of it as more of a hexagon -
I mean yeah. I seem to be drawing in mostly Rationalists and Rat-Adjacents. I’m probably closer to the edges than some of the others. At least I think it counts as that circle. I don’t have, say, e*nationalism or rtri*e following me.
On the other hand, seeing as you terminated your blog and remade it, is Argumate even following you anymore?

Scott is already the most powerful Neoreactionary that has ever lived.
Even from within the tenth circle of the seventh star of the dark sun, chained in magical bindings by the Eight Scholars of Justice Eternal, pursued relentlessly by the Harbingers of Anti-Fate, his power leaks through into our world, disguised as “steelmanned” defenses of Liberalism.
Every word uttered in his true form converts ten children to the principles of sidereal nationalism. It is through only his whispers that the one known as Moldbug came to Awakeness. His mere gaze shatters all known forms of modernity.
He cannot stop, and he cannot be stopped.
It was the breaking of the fifth seal, causing parts of our world to come unmoored from Time, which allowed me to enter the past and spread my message of darkness.

SAN FRANCISCO—In an effort to reduce the number of unprovoked hostile communications on the social media platform, Twitter announced Monday that it had added a red X-mark feature verifying users who are in fact perfectly okay to harass. “This new verification system offers users a simple, efficient way to determine which accounts belong to total pieces of shit whom you should have no qualms about tormenting to your heart’s desire,” said spokesperson Elizabeth James, adding that the small red symbol signifies that Twitter has officially confirmed the identity of a loathsome person who deserves the worst abuse imaginable and who will deliberately have their Mute, Block, and Report options disabled. “When a user sees this symbol, they know they’re dealing with a real asshole who has richly earned whatever mistreatment they receive, including profanity, body-shaming, leaking of personal information, and relentless goading to commit suicide. It’s really just a helpful way of saying to our users, ‘This fuck has it coming, so do your worst with a clear conscience and without fear of having your account suspended.’” At press time, Twitter reassuredly clarified that the red X was just a suggestion and that all users could still be bullied with as little recourse as they are now.
