"As always, pedophilia is not the same as ephebophilia." - Eliezer Yudkowsky, actual quote
"As always, pedophilia is not the same as ephebophilia." - Eliezer Yudkowsky, actual quote
Comment by Eliezer Yudkowsky - I may never actually use this in a story, but in another universe I had thought of having a character mention that... call it the forces of magic with normative dimension... had evaluated one pedophile who had known his desires were harmful to innocents and never acted...
I somehow missed this one until now. Apparently it was once mentioned in the comments on the old sneerclub but I don't think it got a proper post, and I think it deserves one.
You're viewing a single thread.
My personal belief is that most pedophiles can be put into two groups:
Those developmentally stunted, who can't see themselves as adults and therefore lust for people of their own 'mental age'.
And those who have a thing for power, and having an erection over controlling a minor, guiding them through everything and having full control over them.
There may be a third option - these people who try hard to argue that pedophilia and ephebophilia aren't the same thing, but I just write them off as idiots.
Yudkowsky is pretty open about being a sexual sadist
@GorillasAreForEating @andrew_bidlaw
Yes, but, having now put that image into our minds, what does that make *you*?

Did you know brent dill is back on twitter?
I did not. Got any details?
Also FWIW I discovered this yesterday: https://archive.ph/SFCwS
No idea if it's true, but even if so I don't think it would exonerate him (though it would put Aella in a worse light)
first of us to give in and get an Urbit account clearly gets the best dirt
I made one out of morbid curiosity years ago but this was way before they decided to start crypto grifting for cash, so I’ve got no doubt my blah blah self-sovereign something something decentralized mumble mumble digital property has been liquidated by the king for not paying taxes
but @self, HOT ABYSSES IN YOUR AREA
it is the garbage I crave at a price far too grave for humanity
god, how much does a garbage scow or whatever’s the smallest non-transient address allocation cost these days?
i believe the "comets" are free and you don't need to become a shitcoiner
also i believe the 64-bit addresses are called "peasant's filthy hovel" and have names like ~sodomy-dumass-cmpsci-ilitrt
@dgerard me: what is an urbit
wikipedia: look, you really don’t want to know, but if you insist…
me: 🙀David wrote the better parts of that article! we’ve also got a few threads on urbit here on awful.systems (for example) — we dig into Yarvin’s original spec and find where he flat out says the namespace is meant to be an implementation of neoreactionary (technofascist) ideas, and I find some light but damning evidence that all of the supposedly interesting ideas in urbit are poorly implemented, plagiarized versions of ideas that Eelco Dolstra wrote about when describing the mathematics behind the then-obscure NixOS, for a master’s thesis whose publishing date was right before when Yarvin claims to have started on urbit
the worst part is I’m pretty sure the address
~sodomy-dumass-cmpsci-ilitrtwould cost a lot more cause it’s both memorable and accuratesadly not a legal urbit address. It was slightly more disgusting effort than I was expecting to find the actual list of syllables - which are different as prefixes and suffixes - but it's in this file.
Here's how the names work.
These links are cursèd and nobody should click on them, but if you're going out seeking this level of psychic damage it's the merest pixie breath.

I can reserve a forth option just for him. Imagine a classification of pedoes, and a category being just 'Yudkowsky'. I feel that many jews sharing the same surename wouldn't be pleased.
idk, people who are otherwise totally unremarkable seem to be pedos. it really seems more like any other variation in human sexuality except that it's profoundly harmful
It is a registered anomaly, a disorder, that deserves counseling. It just so seems we don't hear much from people legitly strugling from it, but from rich people not knowing what to do with their free time besides fucking kids.
@andrew_bidlaw For most people who suffer from paedophilia in the ICD-11 sense (which is a mental health disorder) and undergo years of treatment and therapy while living in terror that they might one day give in to their own instincts and do something unspeakable… it’s not surprising they prefer to not give interviews.
True.
