That kind of response is exactly why the Rationalists aren't taken seriously.

It's a neat package of non-sequitur, moral grandstanding, and misdirection.

asdfman was the one moral grandstanding, I was just being rude

  • That's another mistake many rationalists make. Viewing other people's well justified moral convictions as "grandstanding."

    I'm making valid (if deeply critical) points but you're contributing nothing except your misinformed judgments.

    • You made no specific point at all.

      Grandstanding is a meaningless color commentary term I only reused because I was the one accused of it despite not being the one moralizing.
