For the last several days much of the discussion about Scott Siskind of Slate Star Codex has been about "guilt by association" with Charles Murray, Moldbug and other white supremacist and neoreactionary types. I firmly believe that guilt by association with white supremacists is fundamentally valid, but I was heavily downvoted for my arguments.

My priors have been confirmed, as the rationalists would say. Association with white supremacists and neoreactionaries continues to be strong evidence of one's own sympathies, despite loud protestations (perhaps too much?) from the denizens of this hellsite.

Free clue: Calling a place a hellsite does not make your post more persuasive. Quite the opposite. It indicates that you aren't even bothering to try to persuade.
