some commenters in those threads are talking about the New York EAs vs the Berkeley EAs - the former are rich liberals, the latter are rationalist cultists. there are several suggestions that EA needs to expel the rationalists.
the furious defenders of racism^Wfreedom of ideas in those threads don’t seem to figure out that they’re why the non-racist EAs are suggesting that expelling rationalism from EA is even possible
i mean, they should have done so about a decade ago, because they were only and ever a fucking embarrassment
but now they’re being a hugely racist embarrassment, not just a nerd-weird one, and it’s harder to spin that
i mean, not that liberals aren’t all for a bit of systemic racism, but you can’t make it personal like that
Everyone is talking about racism in this group but I’m not seeing it. I didn’t read the entire website you posted because it’s really long. Is there something racist in that article? If so what is it?
