they laboriously train themselves to do a very specific thing that has the general aura of reasoning but which isn't. this is not my fault.

I've seen roughly this trotted out. It was complicated to prevent the casual observer from realizing that it was trivial, but the fact that people were taking it seriously was really revelatory of the state of the art here.

also the idea that the pope should involve himself and by the extension the church in dipshit lesswrong p(whatever) bullshit is insane. the Pope is, for starters, an adult, and also not a Twitter-brained simpleton.
