Nicholas Hoult to play fan favourite villain in Harry Potter season 2

Eliezer Yudkowsky is the guy who coined the term Effective Altruism, the toxic ideology that billionaires and capitalism-brained aspiring millionaires use to excuse their greed.

They tell themselves, for example, that it's good to work at awful companies such as Facebook/Meta to make ungodly amounts of money because, "look at all the good things I could do with all that money," while ignoring all the awful consequences of them working for these companies.

Eliezer Yudkowsky is in large parts responsible for introducing and turning billionaires to this toxic ideology. He's also responsbile for another toxic ideology called Rationalism where they suppress all their feelings, and its communities such as LessWrong or Slate Star Codex.

He apparently also wrote a fan-fiction book for Harry Potter, called "Harry Potter and the Method of Rationality". Its premise is that Harry Potter was raised by scientists and University of Oxford professors (🙄), and at the age of 10 having already received a rigorous scientific education, before being sent to Hogwarts, where he then examines the magic through the lens of science.

"Productivity YouTuber" Ali Abdaal who has millions of uneducated gullible followers, is now promoting that book with a video literally titled, "I am begging you to read [this book]."

Promoting Harry Potter in 2026 is definitely a choice. J. K. Rowling is doing her best to ensure the death of all transgender people. What Rowling is doing literally falls under the definition of genocide.

Promoting the works of Effective Altruists in 2026 is definitely a choice.

Ali Abdaal represents everything that is wrong with Gen Z aspiring to become millionaires by way of becoming YouTubers. Please stop watching him.

I discovered his channel in 2018 or so, when he showed his viewers the flashcard app Anki. And I learned how to study effectively thanks to him, something school or my parents never taught me. But I quickly got turned off by his channel around 2019 or so when he started pivoting to iPad reviews like every other tech channel. And especially when his popularity exploded in 2020 with everyone stuck at home due to the pandemic.

Please stop watching him if you do.

(loose quote)
#StarWars and #HarryPotter have the same story line. You start out telling a small child that everyone can accomplish anything. And then half way through the story you're doing a rug pull and say that only the chosen special child can do anything. That you've to be born special in order to accomplish great things.

And that's why #StarTrack is better.

Harry-Potter-Fans retteten Dobbys Gedenkstätte vor irre teurer Stromtrasse

Ja, es klingt verrückt: Wegen einer Gedenkstätte für eine Filmfigur musste ein Energieprojekt ausweichen. Aber ehrlich: Wer den Hauselfen Dobby kennengelernt hat, versteht, warum.

#HarryPotter #Dobby

@transworld I also grew up with #HarryPotter and I still appreciate it. But #jkrowling's behavior is unacceptable. I think a work can be separated from its author, but only if the author doesn't use the profits to commit evil acts, and this is the scenario we're in. #notwithmymoney

Apart from all the transphobe stuff and its fans stopping an electric connection between the UK and Ireland, can we please accept #Dobby is not a lovable character and call it for what it really is: Harry Potter's Jar Jar Binks?

These people are insufferable. To respect their TERF's *fictitious gravesite* they will now run a huge cable near *actual gravesite* with urns of human remains from the Bronze Age.

" Ein Kollege habe ihm schließlich von den zahlreichen Anrufen berichtet und erklärt, dass das Ganze „sehr, sehr ernst“ sei. „Ich sagte: „Er ist eine fiktive Figur in einem fiktiven Buch, das Ganze ist erfunden, wovon redet ihr?““, erzählte Ludlam. "

Leute die an fiktive Figuren aus fiktiven Büchern glauben richten auf der Welt noch viel mehr Unheil an, da ist das dagegen eigentlich eine Lapalie.

Harry Potter fans forced the diversion of a cable to protect ‘Dobby’s ‘grave’.

It has been revealed that Harry Potter fans succeeded in diverting a multimillion-pound power link between the UK and Ireland after they pointed out the project would disturb a memorial to Dobby the House Elf.

Grown adults still into this shit, it's very telling

Dobby is a slave who welcomes their servitude and is grateful, JK Rowling chose a boy character instead of a girl because she wanted to sell books.

She is not a nice person.
