saw this pointed out here and felt it deserved it’s own post
let me mention that this is exactly the sort of argument I’ve seen pedophilia enthusiasts break out many times:
hmm, we thoughtful inquirers should look at this incredibly tenous evidence I’ve curated. it raises questions about whether we should be superrrrr chill about sex with children. questions with answers that, I’m sold on!
What a bunch of fucking ghouls.
From the replies:
These people are completely fine with child marriage/rape if the kids didn’t do well in school like they did. Their ability to empathize completely breaks down the second it meets their contempt for non-nerds.
These are the psychopaths who think they’re effective altruists.
WHY ARE THEY DOING THOUGHT EXPERIMENTS THERE ARE REAL CHILD MARRAIGE SURVIVORS OUT THERE THEY CAN READ ABOUT

Same reason they don’t talk to any of the minorities they Bayes about all day long: everything is a thought experiment to them because of their extremely sheltered lives and there’s no way they’re going to talk to some blue hair SJW, scary poor, or dumb immigrant. They’d be too woke, stupid and biased to be worth hearing from, anyway.
they want to think about fucking children without feeling bad, so they’re doing the libertarian “what if the child consents tho” argument. because they’re rationalists they have to rephrase it in their preferred format to be allowed to ingest it, so now it’s “what if the utils consent tho”
Maybe that’s the reason why Republicans try to sabotage education wherever they can: Getting fresh young girls directly from the school benches right into their beds!
That’s basically what some forms of christian homeschooling are.
