I&#x27;m not very familiar with the subject matter, but do you realize that this concluding argument is very weak?<p>Firstly, I don&#x27;t think I&#x27;ve seen mentioned an instance where Yudkowsky seems to be trying to prevent a collective black identity from forming a political block.<p>Secondly, you&#x27;ve suggested that the mechanism by which Yudkowsky&#x27;s material end up as bullets for people who desire to perpetuate prejudice is where the prejudiced party misrepresents Yudkowsky (thereafter, Y). Therefore, your reasoning goes, Y and the LW commenters are guilty for engaging in subject matter that are ripe for appropriation.<p>Unless I&#x27;m mistaken, your accusation is one that is pretty unjust in itself. You are accusing Y with a moral crime for Y&amp;LW&#x27;s association with (racially) prejudiced groups that have misrepresented Y as prejudiced. This is despite that Y has neither affirmed this association nor mentioned anything prejudiced, his crime being entertaining &quot;weird hypotheticals&quot;. Rather, if such a thing has occurred, isn&#x27;t Y a victim of the prejudiced groups himself?
