I basically think someone's appreciation of high culture is pretty orthogonal to how good or bad they'll be for the public discourse

The bad things about Elon are that he's pushing racism, conspiracies, and loads of other shit into the information environment, not that he "has the wrong neurotype"

Thanks so much for sharing!

Yup I think this is all rooted in anti-pluralism

The labor theory of value is a claim about what contributes to the market prices of goods in the longterm. If I need to work to survive, the price of the things I'm trying to buy is still going to be determined by the laws of supply and demand, not the human labor hours that went into them.

All my other posts on this have been focused on material effects, here I wanted to step back a bit

That was the goal! I don't think this is a left-right thing

Will circle back and edit, thanks!

100%

Unserious people, including people who held into these beliefs into their 30s, and who spent a lot of time memeing other people into similar beliefs, are in fact bad for themselves and other people and the movement.

Their raw writing quality is imo still pretty bad too
