Fuck, you know it's possible the "rise" in trans people corresponds to "uncloseting", but it's also possible it corresponds to a drop in deaths. In which case you could calculate the implied trans death rate by subtracting current trans identity rate from previous rate and multiplying against the population. Another thing they'll never simulate.

"to him, the Stonewall riots [...] opened the floodgates to another realm, allowing ancient pagan deities to spill back onto Earth, including the Mesopotamian goddess Ishtar, who is resentful at being marginalized for thousands of years and is now seeking vengeance against Christianity."

...and?

Pic related is the allegedly demonic art.

@nyx Flynn effect has reversed, so no, not just you.

@GreenSkyOverMe Yes, sorry. Typed too quickly.

Allistic people don't have theory of mind. They have cognitive shortcuts that evolved due to intense selection pressure in the ancestral environment. They interpret these phenomenologically as a sort of mystical sacred abstraction. Where autistic people have TOO MUCH theory of mind, in the sense they actually look for casual mechanisms behind thoughts and actions and thus necessarily get it wrong with allistics (who are short circuiting, and constitute the bulk of human beings). Every allistic short circuit is important, because it points to a danger, but you can't ask an allistic why the danger exists, and they perpetuate the danger through their social structure. Allistics interpret the absence of these short circuits as missing an important piece of epistemics or even personhood because they are highly emotionally salient, but it's important to remember that they have zero information content. The allistic does not have internal access to the logic that drives them.

I think China might be legitimately less evil than the United States as of right now, which is deeply confusing to my soul.

@nyx year of the BSD desktop when

@nyx Literally as soon as Musk acquired the company I archived everything and deleted my account.

@nyx

Musk deleted 10 years worth of twitter, in case anyone wanted to know whether fascists were still destroying records.

@emurphy @anarchopunk_girl @noracodes LessWrong is made up of men who think they're at the forefront of reason, and that can dovetail with transphobia easily, but I wouldn't say they're more transphobic as a readership than average (more racist yes).
