also, I think this is the first mention of the Brennan email on LW?
That is actually kind of weird… Did the lesswrong mods deliberately censor all discussion of the emails? (Out of a misplaced sense of respect for what gets the privilege of privacy? Or deliberately covering up the racism? Or the later disguised as the former?) They seem foundational to understanding Scott’s true motives, it seem like the emails should have at least warranted a tangential mention. Trying to clear this up… but searching for Brennan doesn’t help as an original fiction character has that name and searching for emails doesn’t help as it gets the Bostrom emails.
so Scott has never addressed the email. Basically cos he can’t without hanging his ass out in public. The wider rationalist-sphere seems to have just chosen not to mention it in public. But well, there’s Zack for ya!
