Excellent work. These pseudonymous post-liberal Nazis creep me the hell out.
Over the course of my research, it has come to my attention that Jordan Lasker was invited to give a talk titled “The Academic and Career Trajectories of Underqualified College Admits” at Stanford University’s Classical Liberalism Initiative seminar series. The series of talks, run by Iván Marinovic out of the School of Business whose goal is to invite professors to “debate ideas and policy issues with rigor, even when doing so may challenge orthodoxy”.
These challenges to “orthodoxy” never seem to include ideas like paying reparations for slavery. (Deadpan Daria voice) It’s so strange.

I think that should be Tobias Wolfram. Per RationalWiki and Hope Not Hate, anyway.
“Genetic Enhancement: Prediction Markets for Future People” by Jonathan Anomaly
What a completely cursed presentation title. According to the first youtube transcription service that pops up on google, he means that we should use prediction markets to find out which diseases will be curable/treatable in the next however many years so we can prioritize accordingly when doing polygenetic embryo screening based family planning.
Eugenics enjoyer quotient: Mr Anomaly is an iq enthusiast who goes on to talk about how genetic screening starts at choosing a suitable partner. Also, we should establish something like a polygenic health index that represents an individual’s genetic health to better systematize selection. This will be based on the individual’s known genetics as well as family history, I’m assuming because getting tricked into marrying someone with a schizophrenic great uncle or an obese cousin is a serious concern for him.
This presentation came up on the subject of how Cremieux/TP0/Lasker got invited to give a talk in Stanford if he’s only known for his race science bullshit while otherwise unaffiliated, and the answer is that the school of business faculty who organized the talks was into forecasting markets and almost definitely met him in this event.
So we have the broader rationalist cultic milieu to once again thank for bringing terrible people together, I guess.
Could have called yourself anything and you go for “Creamy Recoil”?
I wasn’t expected an unironic chaser honestly.
Also the Musk stuff was very interesting.
