Rebageling this to place credit where credit is due.
Oh shit, I just realized that if I get productively employed (or self-employed, or entrepreneuring), expand my sexual comfort zones in a way that isn’t even without historical precedent, and convert, before late 2017 I could have a full 12/12
Now the question is: would anyone bid for that? Because there totally exists a sum of money I’d do it for.

The Rationalist Stereotype Survey
socialjusticemunchkin:
Now with a scoring guide (choose one or none from each sub-category)
Age:
- 21-25 years +1
- 16-20 +½
- 26-30 years +½
Jewishness:
Gender:
- trans woman (regardless of hormone usage) +1
- any kind of amab using estrogen +1
- amab non-binary (no estrogen) +¾
- other non-cis or dubiously cis (afab trans, agender, magic button trans, etc.) +½
- cis by default (not magic button trans) +¼
Poly:
- Yes +1
- Kind of, or open to the idea +½
Sexuality, part A:
- gray-asexual or demisexual +1
- asexual +½
- asexual and kinky +1
- kinky +½
Sexuality, part B (replace “sexual” with “romantic” if doing so would give you a higher score):
- bisexual, pansexual, sapiosexual, any other kind of “gender isn’t really such a big deal"sexual +1
- any kind of “gender isn’t a massive deal but it’s somewhat of a deal"sexual +½
- gendersexual, but would take the bisexuality pill +½
Gifted child:
- very +½ (eg. peerless in one’s childhood environment, or not peerless, but with a highly unusual peer group)
- quite +¼ (eg. one of the highest-achieving in one’s slightly less highly unusual peer group)
Badbrains:
- at least 2 of: ADHD, autism, anxiety, depression at least to a sub-clinical but noticeable degree +½
- one of them +¼
Field:
- CS student, or working in programming, AI, CS, etc. +1
- self-learning any of the above +½
- student or working in mathematics +½
Politics, part 1:
- supports open borders, or at least massively increased immigration +½
- supports significantly increased immigration +¼
Politics, part 2:
- supports basic income by whatever name one wishes to use +½
- supports some other kind of less bureaucratic, more market-based approach to welfare +¼
Politics, extra questions (can’t increase the total politics score over 1):
- refuses to identify with ideological labels +½
- identifies with a weird made-up "non-"ideological label +½ ("futarchy”, “meta-level politics”, etc.)
Geeking out:
- transhumanist nerd stuff +1
- any other uncommon and specific nerd stuff +1
- less unusual SF/F or STEM nerd stuff +½
HPMoR, 3 Worlds Collide, Dragon-Tyrant (add scores from each):
- has read all of it, or most and intends to finish +1/3
- has read a lot but doesn’t intend to finish, or is starting +1/6
SSC:
- regularly +1
- sometimes +½
- rarely +¼
I tried to not break legacy results compatibility so most people’s scores should be the same and this would just clarify the questionnaire; if people’s results change, it’s because I’ve changed some things to better reflect the original intent based on data acquired so far (looking especially at you, @sigmaleph, because that “politics” answer was the most stereotypical rationalist thing ever and I’m embarrassed to have overlooked that possibility)
And now I have the result categories as well:
(break ties with Newcomb’s dilemma; one-boxers upwards, two-boxers downwards)
12: The Chosen One
10-12: True Yudbot of the Hivemind
8-10: Stereotypical Rationalist
6-8: Typical Rationalist
4-6: Quite rationalist-adjacent
2-4: Kind of adjacent I guess
0-2: I don’t know how you ended up taking the survey, please tell me your story

“Ownership” of a computer system is a surprisingly important thing to me.
When I first installed Ubuntu in dual boot a year ago, I immediately ditched Windows because linux felt like something I could understand and control (and break if I screwed up, and if I broke it it would be my own damn fault and I should simply git gud), while windows was an opaque black box of horribleness in comparison. I can count the times I’ve booted back to windows with my fingers, in unary. And I don’t even have polydactyly.
Then I had a taste of Arch and the same kind of feeling came back. I was no longer given a ready setup, but instead a blank slate to build my own system on, and all successes and, most importantly, fuckups would be purely my own. It was intimidating, it was difficult, it was awesome. And now ubuntu feels like windows in comparison.
For example, I can’t get Urxvt to load the colors from my .Xresources no matter how much I xrdb (but the font changes to Terminus as expected; yet I can’t get Terminess Powerline to show up either) and the ubuntu sources I can find don’t seem to expect people to be wanting to do this kind of low-level dotfile aroundscrewing (I mean, seriously, how else is one supposed to adjust stuff; gui tools are opaque and I don’t grok what they exactly do, whereas “so I adjust this dotfile here, it’s loaded by that program to do such thing” is intuitive and insightful) so it looks like I’m installing Arch to change my terminal colors. Might seem like slight overkill, but the Third Virtue of Rationality says that when it looks like I’m going to install Arch inevitably, I might as well do it right away.
So, deep computer side of tumblr, show me the forbidden advice!
On topics such as:
I have 480G and 240G SATA SSDs, and a 400G PCIe SSD; how should I set up the filesystem assuming I’m nuking windows and switching everything over to Arch, and possibly adding a few T of spinningy platters for bulk data storage later?
I’m thinking of using the 240 as a personal data backup drive for all the stuff I definitely don’t want to lose if one fails, putting / on the 480, and then I need some way to have all the I/O intensive stuff on the PCIe as it’s faster (you know you have ADHD when a regular SSD isn’t fast enough so instead you need to grab an enterprise-grade one from a clearance sale); so I should have certain folders located on that one, but I can’t think of anything overarching that would cover the needs.
The computer is going to occasionally be a game server for J so some games from steam need to be on the PCIe but I don’t want to install all of steam on it; and whatever I/O-heavy computing I do myself also needs to be running from it.
If I make it /home/promethea/$pcie_name it would be relatively easy and straightforward but then J can’t access it; if I make it /$pcie_name it feels a bit dirty for some reason; does anyone have any suggestions?
I think it depends on what “all the I/O intensive stuff” actually is. Are you running a database / server, and need access to that data quickly? Is it just for user programs? Not to mention you might want to put boot on there, so you can boot quickly.
Actually the fact that you basically want to split the disk makes me think you should use LVM to actually split it. I’ve done similar things with LVM, so I think what I’m suggesting should be possible as well.
Can’t boot off it because it’s a special enterprise grade drive instead of regular consumer stuff and I’d rather not go into hacking boot roms onto it (YGM); the normal SSD is fast enough for these purposes.
I originally bought it to have quicker 4k transfers for heavy random disk loads when gaming to minimize loading breaks etc. (and because both my 2,5" slots were full already but an expansion card looks neat), then I quit gaming and am looking for the best way of using it. It promises massive durability so it should be the drive that sees all the heavy stuff regardless of what the heavy stuff is.
I don’t want to partition things in a way that creates artificial limits, so some kind of a scheme that lets me point different folders to different physical disks would be optimal; for example, I could have / on the 480, and /home/promethea/dev/ and /home/J/steam/ on the PCIe so that either of them has access to all of the 400G, and /home/promethea/.backup/ and /home/J/.backup/ pointing to the 240 in the same way.
And I don’t know what that heavy usage would be, but my dev stuff might include anything. Not running more serverness than a home file storage once I get the TB platters, and steam streaming of games for J because I’m the one with the powerful hardware.

So I was talking to someone about livestock futures yesterday and I was like “I know you can get cattle futures and pork futures, but what about chicken? why shouldn’t I be able to buy some chicken futures if I want to invest in chicken?”
And I looked it up and it turns out people have tried to start a chicken futures market three different times! This was in the 60s, 80s, and 90s, and every time it failed.
Apparently this is largely because in the cattle industry beef processors buy cattle from farmers, so there’s demand for futures from people who want to hedge against price volatility. But the chicken industry is more vertically integrated, so no one actually needs to hedge with futures.
Also I learned that in 1958 Congress passed a bill banning the sale of onion futures? It is still a misdemeanor that carries a fine of up to $5000, so be careful about that I guess.
(Of course there’s also the question of whether a vegetarian can even buy chicken futures. But my vegan friend bought cattle futures the other day so I think it’s generally considered acceptable.)
(Though now I am imagining animal rights groups campaigning for universities to be short livestock futures and it feels totally plausible. If you personally would like to be short livestock, there is a short livestock ETF that trades on the London Stock Exchange, but it does not seem very liquid and it might be hard to trade it if you are not British, idk. If you would like to be short chickens specifically, I recommend shorting the stock of poultry producers.)
oh man do you not know the onion futures story
okay, so, it’s the 1950s. there’s an onion farmer named Vincent Kosuga. he’s a pretty successful onion farmer, so he starts speculating in the commodities markets. after an initial disastrous flirtation with wheat futures, he finds a niche betting on onion prices – he is, after all, an onion farmer – and does pretty well for himself.
in 1955, Kosuga gets an idea. an awful idea. Kosuga gets a wonderful, awful idea. he starts building warehouses around the country, and places orders for all the onions he can get his hands on. in addition, he starts buying onion futures, guaranteeing him delivery of the onions that are still in the ground.
by that fall, he’s done what he’s set out to do. he owns 98% of the onions in the united states. he’s cornered the market, and he gets to control onion prices. of course, since he has all the onions, he jacks prices up really high and makes a ton of money.
but Kosuga isn’t done yet. he’s quietly been establishing a big short position in onion futures. then, all of a sudden, Kosuga starts flooding the market with all the onions he owns. onion prices go through the floor – literally selling for less than the cost of the bag they’re delivered in. since Kosuga is short onions, he makes another ton of money.
but everyone is super pissed at him. especially other onion farmers – when the price of onions got driven down to almost nothing, their crops, their hard work, became worthless. some of them went bankrupt, or even committed suicide. so of course they lobby congress. and congress, as always, legislates to prevent the previous crisis rather than the next one – and bans trading in onion futures.
of course, this is probably unnecessary and in fact harmful. it’s really rare for anyone to come close to cornering the market in a commodity, and it’s even harder today (you can’t really buy up all the onions in secret, without other traders noticing) than it was 60 years ago. nevertheless, trading in onion futures remains illegal in the US today.

I seem to have a Thing of throwing off-hand jokes that later are validated surprisingly well by empirical data, and this time it’s “as queer as a women’s college”
Because I’m screwing around in the diaspora survey results for fun and wow this fits all the unlikely but totally true stereotypes
like, right now I’m googling the statistics on lesbianity and transgenderism in Mount Holyoke because holy shit our hardest core might actually give them a run for their money in queerness
So, the results are in, and…
yes.
I used this data and the four big clusters with useful results (0, 1, 3 and 6) turned out pretty remarkable.
Cluster 0 seems relatively unremarkable; its most distinctive characteristic was skipping the cultural questions and all in all less active answering
6 is roughly identical to 0 in other questions; it has some slight exposure to the culture but seems to be mostly made of “regular people” who somehow ended up on the survey, and by “regular” I mean “still pretty niche but not thoroughly corrupted”; almost half had read Ender’s Game and a third are regulars of SSC and that’s about it. I’m calling the two of them the “ordinarys”
Cluster 3 I’m naming “rationalist-adjacent” because they share a lot of characteristics but aren’t neck deep in the memeplex unlike…
Cluster 1 which is obviously “yudkowskians” because they are basically walking stereotypes
And by stereotypes I mean things like:
Half the women are trans (8% to 9% and most of the enbies (9% in total) are amab as well); r-adjacents have relatively low numbers of trans women but the same amount of enbies, and a quarter is afab instead of 12% of the yudkowskians. But both have more women than the ordinarys, and yudkowskians’ trans team is very strong and makes a valiant effort in closing the gender gap even if the r-adjacents seize a narrow victory in the numbers game.
More people are poly than mono, and heterosexuals are only barely a majority (59% while 29% are bi; the rationalist-adjacents are very close too with 62% and 23% while the ordinarys have 76-78% and 12-14%; homosexuality is relatively constant at 3-5%)
9% of both the yudkowskians and r-adjacents are asexual, compared to 5% of the ordinarys
Half of them work with computers and nobody is going to believe those alleged IQ scores never ever (146, compared to a consistent 136-138 for the rest); they are also the most likely to have only a high school degree while the other groups (especially r-adjacents) beat them in the other education categories
Agnosticism is hilariously unpopular (3% compared to 11-16% for the rest) and they are extremely jewish
Basically everyone reads SSC, and they are the biggest readers of everything else on the list as well (except Xenosystems, where the r-adjacents take the first place in regulars and sometimes-readers)
The closer one is to the hard core of the memeplex, the less conservative (by a significant amount) and the more libertarian (to some degree but not as massively) one is, but neither of them can hold a candle to the massive correlation between exposure to Yudkowsky’s writings and being a trans woman (can’t bother to do the calculations but the connection is absurdly strong)
So this data basically says that the archetypical rationalist is:
- 21-25 years old
- jewish
- trans woman (probably kind of non-binary-ish on some level, but transitioning with hormones)
- polyamorous
- gray-asexual
- bisexual
- an absurdly gifted child with the specific kind of badbrains which is varyingly diagnosed as autism, ADHD, anxiety, depression, or most likely some combination of them
- studies computer science
- politically left-libertarian
- geeks out on all kinds of weird nerd stuff
- has read all of: Three Worlds Collide, HPMoR, The Fable of the Dragon-Tyrant
- a regular SSC reader
to calculate your “how stereotypical rationalist am I” score: 1 point for fully matching each, ½ points for getting close; mine is 10/12
eight
what kind of failure rationalist am I
about 4.5 to 5
i’d probably go into r-adjacent
9 points; +1 if you count quarter-Jewish via my dad’s side of the family. +1 if “anyone who isn’t cis-male” qualifies as bisexual (I mean, technically it does, but it feels like it’s failing the spirit of “bisexual” :))
I cannot technicality my way into being 25 again. In fairness, when I was 25, LessWrong did not exist yet (and it is so weird routinely having a decade on everyone else in this community…)
I’d say that’s ½ points for jewishness, and ½ to 1 points for sexuality (I think heterosexuality is 0 points, other sexual minorities are ½ points; I gave myself ½ for “empirically quite consistently transfemininesexual” and yours sounds at least closer to “bisexual” than me)

Shit dude what the hell I legit chose the name Aiden and wanna dress up all the time now I’m rethinking my life and name and shit
I mean there is nothing wrong with the name Aiden (or Brayden, Hayden, Kaiden, or any of its other variants). I mean if someone calls out “Aiden!” at philly trans health conference half the room will turn around but the same thing is true of rationalists and ‘Michael’, so…
I just… IS THERE SOME SOCIOLOGICAL REASON WHY ALL TRANSMASCS WISH TO BE NAMED ‘AIDEN’
DO MEN REALLY LIKE THE NAME ‘AIDEN’ AND MOST OF THEM DON’T GET TO PICK THEIR OWN NAMES AND HAVE TO SUFFER THROUGH LIFE BEING NAMED ‘MICHAEL’
SHOULD I NAME ANY SONS I HAVE ‘AIDEN’
Then there’s the way all trans women are either ‘Zoe’ or some kind of /Al+[eiy].+/

SSC readers are so well-represented in the LW survey that I’m worried about the sampling. Did Scott accidentally skew the results by giving the link to his audience?
(my rat-score: 5/12)
It was “2016 LessWrong Diaspora Survey” this time, so the sampling is exactly as expected
