Usually I roll my eyes pretty heavily at the WhateverPorn names for non-pornographic communities, but I suspect this one’s gonna be accurate more often than not.

My understanding is that it’s quite the opposite — a racist with Tourette’s would be less likely to shout a slur because they don’t feel the social stigma as keenly.

It’s not a coincidence, as far as I understand. The tics are involuntary, but they are specifically due to intrusive thoughts about what the most inappropriate thing to say right now would be. The blame here mostly lies with institutional racism for making that slur so awful; were it not available, I assume his tic would have focused on another terrible word, say “fuck”.

Edit: many Black folks I’ve listened to have said that they feel that in the we have defended this disability, we have erased the harm to Black folks they experienced. I hope I have not done that; I feel strongly that the harm the Black community experienced was real, independent of whether that harm was intentional from the speaker.

If you’re comparing freestyling (assuming it’s fully improvised) is this still the case? What about reciting a memorized poem? (I agree with you, I’m just curious if you know where the boundaries are because I sure don’t)

LessWrong is a deeply strange place and you have to be careful with it, but the sequence on maps and territories is a pretty good introduction: https://www.lesswrong.com/w/map-and-territory

Not so. The code may be the same, but the code is the map, not the territory. The code is not enough to understand the territory, even with mock data, c.f.

Our staging environment contains data that matches Production as closely as possible, but was not sufficient in this case and the mock data we relied on to simulate what would occur was insufficient.

I knew Wolfram’s work on the ruliad was getting weird, but I didn’t realize it’d gotten THIS weird.
