Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.
This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Just in case you thought Yud's attitude towards minors, sex, and substance use was worse than average for a Rationalist, the NYT asked around (archive):
They saw a police report where a woman says she had to climb a gate at one of these parties to escape a man who demanded she have sex with him. Sounds like a great environment for a seventh-grader!
Also features "Jimmy Chen, who goes by the social media handle 'Spice King of Zanzibar.'"
The student who says he was attending these parties aged 13 seems to be the sperm race guy
That is a formative age
Okay I have questions about the logistics of this that are not touched on in the article.
Namely, how do they synchronise cum
On one hand I want to know, on the other hand learning about these people does not make me ready to ever be close to anyone again.
Mean scientists and reporters think the demo was fake https://www.uscannenbergmedia.com/2025/05/02/was-the-sperm-race-just-a-sticky-lie/
Using the fun button in the backdoor, saw it on an episode of SVU* (edit: it may have been CSI)
Dammit, people, sex and drugs were supposed to be cool
Copying what other people tell you should like is not a good strategy whether the others are high-school bullies or a sex worker slash influencer. One of the bangers at the birthday gangbang found he had more fun making out with a strange woman than giving the birthday girl what she wanted and I hope he explored that.
I think it's a bit under-covered that the weird SF/Bay Area group-house scene has to be symbiotic with the housing shortage in the region. Even in my old hometown of Hayward, all the older 1950s-70s tract-home and mixed-density neighborhoods tend to have cars parked everywhere along the streets where a car could possibly be parked, because all these places that were designed as single-family homes are being used as multi-tenant rentals. I guess one underrated reason to support YIMBY is to strangle your local incipient cults.
