The Case For Bullying

Just a quick comment from my side:

PLEASE JUST READ YUDKOWSKY'S SEQUENCES

This post has received a lot of downvotes so far with NO substantive counter arguments from you guys. Please don't be misled by your emotions and try to look beyond the surface layer. Substance >> Style

It looks to me you're falling prey to some trivial Russell Conjugation. Please reread the sequences and take the following to heart:

"the real secret to rationality is noticing when someone is saying something for reasons unrelated to its truthfulness, and then applying this to yourself"

I'm open to changing my stance, I just want to figure out the actual truth. Common guys, you're better than this

"Bullying has distinct negative connotation"

I mention the concept of Russell Conjugation multiple times in my article. Did you read it?

"Bullies have bad intentions"

Intentions don't matter, results do. That's why capitalism works

Hi Justin, I already read both the posts you linked there.

My desire for Truth is overwhelmingly strong, I would change my stance if anyone would present some actual counter-arguments that go beyond the surface level.

Will give longer rebuttal later, am currently on vacation in Spain 🤝
