Sorry the character’s nickname was Wild Thing, the movie was called Major League. Wild Things is a different movie, the peak of nineties cinema. https://t.co/Leh0S1ejr9 — PolitiTweet.org

Which weird creep’s return are you most looking forward to? For me it’s that guy who used the avatar of the pitcher from Wild Things and did a lot of racism. But the various holocaust meme accounts have been missed too! — PolitiTweet.org

The people have spoken. Amnesty begins next week. Vox Populi, Vox Dei.

@KelseyTuoc @stencel_jakub @ohabryka @tyler_m_john @JerusalemDemsas @moskov And again, I think it’s a problem that some EA institutions seem to have helped a major donor put forward a misleading portrait of his own frugality — inflating the legend of the beanbag-sleeping, Corolla-driving SBF. It calls overall judgment and probity into question. — PolitiTweet.org

If you’re curious — NYC regs require much more shed-construction than you see you in, say, Chicago. https://t.co/UH7S41B4vb — PolitiTweet.org

Do people who live here not notice that no other city is covered in scaffolding to this degree? Doesn’t it make them curious? — PolitiTweet.org

I think it’s both true that there are a lot of weirdos with MPHs and also that the oddball dynamics of Twitter are that we hear a lot more about the most extreme public health ideas (both pro and con) than is warranted by the numbers on the ground. — PolitiTweet.org

@StefanFSchubert @sapinker Do we think Pinker actually means you should never attempt to write about uncertain knowledge (I will violate Classic Style and say I find this hard to believe), or did he just oversimplify in describing what he endorses? — PolitiTweet.org

Conveniently for me, as a professional political pundit I think it *really is plausible* that “affirming correct policy ideas” genuinely is the main lever I have to do good in the world. But I worry about the rest of you. ;-) — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
Maybe that’s right, maybe being good should be easy. But going back to undergraduate meta-ethics, I always thought there was a kind of ghost of Christian concepts of heaven and hell lurking here — if bad people suffer eternal damnation then being good can’t be too hard. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
But separate from anything about SBF in particular it gives me pause that this is so easy — it’s really just asking you to affirm a couple of political propositions. And they’re not even costly propositions! You can say this stuff and fit comfortably into any party. — PolitiTweet.org

AI risk is a fuzzier topic, but if you’re not at least a little worried about Mark Zuckerberg training powerful computers to deceive humans and conquer the world I honestly don’t know what’s wrong with you. — PolitiTweet.org

I think it’s clearly true, for example, that scientific advances have both made deadly pandemics more likely and also mean that there’s in principle much more we could feasibly do to prevent pandemics. This should be a high priority! https://t.co/8NGDNvK35X — PolitiTweet.org

As someone who’s always liked giving money to @GiveWell, I used to think identifying as EA would be stealing valor from people I know who are much more altruistic than I am — I’ve got two kidneys, I eat my share of meat and cheese, etc. But then it became less demanding. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
Something ~~interesting~~ about the longtermist turn was that it largely recapitulated the features of more conventional systems — the hairshirt stuff was downweighted in favor of basically “do you affirm the right things about AI & biorisk?” Community building gained status. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
Early EA was a kind of bracing challenge to those ideas — said you should give a lot to charity, should give up eating animal products, should give your kidney to a stranger. Said that politics was maybe not as important as people say and institutions should be frugal. — PolitiTweet.org
Matthew Yglesias @mattyglesias
I think what most people want from an ethical system is some kind of plausible account of why being a really good person doesn’t require much change — just do normal stuff, hang out with like-minded people, affirm a certain set of political views. — PolitiTweet.org

@nbeaudrot @SelectStarMan Is it just that people were cooking canned vegetables and “pour the can with its liquids into a pot and heat it up” is the simplest way to do that? — PolitiTweet.org
