@carlbeijer.bsky.social I think you wrote something ~10+ years or so on how often political disagreements sometimes just boiled down to two sides each using the same word but w/ different meanings. I checked The People's Line archives but couldn't find it by search, did I misattribute this to you?

If you have “sincere concerns” about trans athletes in sports, all it means is that you have given yourself a rationale for your bigotry that you sincerely believe exonerates you for aligning to a far-right tactic for marginalization and exclusion.

![Why does Rationalism have a tendency to produce cults, or at least cult-like clusters? The basic answer, I think, is that the whole Rationalist program effectively generates potential cult subjects. Here, to give an example, is an excerpted list of personal qualities that make for a likely Rationalist:
LessWrong is a good place for someone who:
values curiosity, learning, self-improvement, figuring out what's actually true (rather than just what you want to be true or just winning arguments)
will change their mind or admit they're wrong in response to compelling evidence or argument
wants to work collaboratively with others to figure out what's true […]
is nerdy and interested in all questions of how the world works and who is not afraid to reach weird conclusions if the arguments seem valid
These are all good qualities individually. But as a whole package what you have is a person convinced of their own inadequacy, eager for social connection and personal development, and endlessly persuadable by sophistry. Feeling comfortable with your own epistemological position, even if you know it’s flawed, is not the preferred mode for Rationalist development, but it’s pretty foundational to building a stable sense of self. By the same token, the ability to dismiss an argument with a “that sounds nuts,” without needing recourse to a point-by-point rebuttal, is anathema to the rationalist project. But it’s a pretty important skill to have if you want to avoid joining cults.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ryqquipjxrjvwv7o5mj6zl4d/bafkreigh4fr54fx7o2lkawm7nno4clhudy3wcnrjnqbc74uwvzhfqzoi7e@jpeg)

The members who did the "don't follow illegal orders" video absolutely need to immediately do a "hey these were the illegal orders we were talking about and participating in them can expect to face consequences to the fullest extent of the law" video
Uniformed military are involved in this shambolic behavior and they all need to be held to account
A primary goal of the discussion now on dragging dem pols to do the right thing has to be on widespread accountability and where appropriate prosecutions of significant numbers of servicemembers

This is a heartbreaking story about Veronica Garcia, the trans girl high school runner in Spokane who was targeted by bigots while surviving poverty and homelessness. She's so strong for persevering through this.
For a young transgender runner in Spokane, racing wasn’t the hardest thing
Verónica García overcame poverty to become a high school track champion — twice. It made her famous for all the wrong reasons.

Alright panic over now. They’ve introduced this bill before and it’s died in subcommittee.
Also this didn’t happen today, it’s just getting attention now. It actually happened like 2-3 days ago. Read this thread if you want to know more.

Today, I also come bearing notes from the Judiciary Committee hearing on "online child safety."
+ THE GOOD:
- No vote on any legislation.
- Anger on KOSA in the House being defanged.
- A few new bills, two of them seem ok:
+ the (ECHO) Act
+ the Stop Sextortion Act

I really can't emphasize enough that if you care about local politics, all you gotta do is show up. Just a regular schmegular person showing up. Literally just show up consistently in person and within a remarkably short amount of time, you will have a shocking amount of influence.
