That's very funny, but there are a couple of bits I couldn't make out.
1:00 (She's just [soundsmudge] 1:28 ([smudge ending with ts]
What's the book at 1:05? I realize that isn't the point, but it might be some typical LWish book, and I can't tell.
1:00 "She's just signalling virtue" 1:28 "I'm an aspiring rationalist"
I actually wanted to use Goedel Escher Bach, but I didn't have a physical copy at hand. :/ I used "The Etched City" by KJ NOT Parker. I love KJ Parker's fiction, altho in retrospect I think the Engineer trilogy would probably be closest to rationalist fic.
ETA: Well I'll be damned... turns out that KJ Parker and KJ Bishop are not the same person! KJ Parker wrote the Engineer Trilogy. KJ Bishop wrote The Etched City. They're both good, and the writing style is so similar I had thought they were the same person and confused them. It's The Etched City that I'm holding.
A long time ago, in the colder seasons, I asked for suggestions for a Shit Rationalists Say video. Due to other concerns it took me this long to put it together, and the meme has long since passed. However, here it is.
Shit Rationalists Say
It is my first time in front of a camera, so I'm shakey. But I learned, and there it is.
