    With my online friends there's a shared understanding that we'll most likely never meet IRL and probably wouldn't even like each other. It's like mutual parasociality, lol.

    The way I parsed the sentence, the backwards and goofy part is just the """he was probably mostly thinking of “white European cultures”""", not the choice of Latin. Just a concilat…

    I didn't mean to imply there's an issue with humanity, just that talking to people is less effective, though maybe more fun.

    Talking to LLMs or reading books is much more effective in updating my priors. Talking to people is mostly ego, signaling, misunderstandings and axiological differences.

    TBH I feel weirdly compelled to object every time someone raises a possibility of thinking about women without sexual undertones.

    Both cases sound to me like there is absolutely no moral right being violated. Maybe there's a line somewhere, like you shouldn't copy someone's brain and torture it in a simulatio…
