I’d ask what the Rationalist Movement is, but if this asshole is in any way representative of it, fuck him, fuck the movement, and fuck anyone supporting any of this bullshit.
So "Popularism" - only popular with the far right
and "Rationalism" - lunatics
Your assessment is correct
The current movement that abuses the term "rationalist" to justify their wacko ideas is this guy's. Makes Objectivism look better by contrast.
Also "Effective Altruism" is mostly the same folks,
who think it's ok if we wreck the planet as long as they get to build the Great AI Paradise in the Future
Ah, I see. Well then….
Definitely fuck them.
Even better: he created it.
fuck just about anyone is a safe bet lately
