This post fails to define metamodernism and thus fails to communicate anything useful by the term (a grievous error given that metamodernism is its central topic)
The text in general is, moreover, a soup of unsupported, vibes-based claims
With regards to sex, rats and EAs both are significantly likelier to be queer (& for that matter poly, though I don’t have good info re: kink) than baseline American culture (a trivial inference to draw if you’re familiar with our autism rates)
With regards to the “fakeness of EA”, see Scott’s presentation of various statistics here; he estimates roughly 200k lives saved, consistent with EA’s strong commitment to real-world impact as the ultimate measure of charitable spending
I appreciate you confirming my post :) Just to go through it again:
I agree, that I should have defined that more clearly. I define metamodernism as “A movement composed of the people identifying themselves as metamodernists”.
Exactly, because it’s my personal emotional experience.
Fair enough, that’s also more an observation.
I see, I should also have been clearer here. I don’t mean that EA as an organization is objectively fake; it’s just that all the EA people I have personally met so far weren’t interested in actually doing altruism effectively in the slightest; all they wanted to do was talk about it.
It’s fascinating how you’re simply invalidating my experience. That’s exactly what I mean with the emotionless, cold, joyless, sometimes downright humiliating attitude of people in this forum, with a complete lack of empathy. Why are you this way? Are emotions not rational?
