Somehow I absolutely love this most recent SSC post: https://www.astralcodexten.com/p/matt-yglesias-considered-as-the-nietzschean I feel like the best of pre-2020 Scott is back. Also, his takedown of the first person to reply to him in the comments is just excellent.

Kantian morality versus Jeremy Bentham: these arguments just go around in circles. Master morality surpasses death, but slave morality seeks to become the master. I found that Jacques Lacan's four discourses provide the answer in the end, beautifully describing the Master's discourse.
