If this Yudkowsky-dude really tries to take over the world, we as Germans can offer some valuable experiences in this sort of business! [1]
[1]If the joke offended someone, I’m sorry! Be glad that I made none about German-Jewish-relationships...
Ähm, da “Yudkowsky” ein äußerst jüdischklingender Name ist (der selbst etwas wie “jüdisch” bedeuten könnte), ich bin ganz nicht sicher, daß dies der beste von Witzen wurde hier...
Trotzdem begrüße ich natürlich die Idee, von weiteren LW-meetups, auch diejenige, die jenseits meines Vermögens zur Teilnahme sind. :-)
To be clear: I know that Eliezer had an Jewish upbringing. The joke should be that dark.
I’m sorry, I’m really sorry. I will stop making grim jokes.
As I said to Xixidu: I am not a Nazi! I make jokes like that all the time.
It was stupid and tasteless, I apologize.
I admire Yudkowsky. I love Jews. Almost all my role models are Jews, like Feynman, Einstein or Chomsky.
I liked that bit, it’s a pity you took it out! C’mon, nobody really worries about irgendwelche Sympathien or historischen Verantwortung, right? I’d be quite surprised if Eliezer was in any way offended …
By the way, I’m in Paris so there’s a small possibility I might make it to a German meetup if it happens to be convenient, but it’s still pretty unlikely (I speak some German, but forgot a lot; I like practicing when I can).
Naturally I find it funny, too;)
But think about it: It’s the first time lesswrong members from Germany meet, and they already make jokes about Jews, and how they will take over the world. I’d be surprised if Eliezer was offended, too, but I guess it just wasn’t worth the risk of annoying possible readers. I’m pretty new here and most don’t know me very well, so I probably should make such jokes in private or where the chance of misinterpretation is otherwise very low.
I wish I were a Jew, then I could make jokes about Hitler all the time, and everybody would understand that I’m definitely not a Nazi. ( I really envy Matt Stone...)

This would be great!
