Dropping slurs after being compared to a eugenicist is an interesting choice. Maybe you would be more comfortable in the comments of Curtis Yarvin’s blog. You’d certainly get less pushback there.

Falling into deranged ideological projection is also an interesting choice - one I chose to mostly ignore. You seem to really obsess a lot about this Yarvin fellow: I tried reading his stuff once and found it intolerable.
I imagine you think calling some of my language choice a "slur" here is some kind of gotcha, when the term I used is specifically one widely disputed as actually being offensive, given it is mostly used now to refer to normal people acting in intellectually deficient ways, and not generally to those with actual learning disabilities that deserve our sympathy. There are studies on this, which you surely are aware of.
If I had referred to your more deranged positions as "smooth-brained halfwit extremes", you likely wouldn't haven't tried to impotently pull this "slur" card, even though the semantics are basically identical. Which basically goes to show that you value irrelevant surfaces over substantial realities, and frankly is perfectly consistent with the midwit intelligence denialism on display in your posts in this exchange.
It’s like someone had Claude binge on Galton, Murray and Yarvin then let it loose on Hacker News.
