He doesn't like un-peeled apples (esoteric Yud fact) and forgot he was trying to hide his power level. You have to peel apples and you have to peel potatoes, so they're pretty much the same thing, right?

Found in a search:

(There's also an ordinary fruit bowl, oranges and bananas and grapes and the like; no apples, since those would require peeling to be eaten. Uncomplicated nutrition-bars are scattered beside. This minitable of Healthy Snacks is accompanied by a small purple dinosaur figurine; which is very humorous and ironical if you grew up inside of dath ilan, but which nobody there would even try to explain to aliens unless they'd run out a whole lot of better things to do with an alien's time.)

In a story about hospital financial risk management for some reason. NOT beating the autism accusations.

Edit2: either the Behind the Bastards podcast on the Zizians or Strange Aeons Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality review skimmed Yudkowsky's view on healthcare reform.

He is confusing apples with tomatoes. Potatoes and tomatoes are closely related species. They are not the same plant though. Apples have more in common with roses than they have with potatoes.

GIven he mentions vines, it's possible that was his starting point, but I think the most likely explanation is that he's just pig-ignorant.

He's currently, six years later, trying to play it off as a joke, which he proves with facts and logic (a).

Not just punctuation, but double spaced after the period. Confirmed serious. Confirmed retarded. Confirmed fat, too.

Maybe he knows potatoes are pomme de terre in french and he retardedly took that literally?
Also did he forget apples have seeds in the middle and potatoes dont? Dont need to know how they grow to notice that?
Maybe it was intended to be a shitpost(???)

The fat thing is funny. Sticking to a meal plan is uncomfortable therefore it makes him dumb and lose muscle and not lose fat and it doesnt work. Would love to see what he eats in a day. Also lol at lipo being effective. I understand the point he’s trying to make but practically lipo patients will gain fat back (in other areas) if they arent careful.

So he is both retarded and autistic, retarded in that he ignores the actual differences between the two and autistic in that he assumes everyone else only sees the similarities that he does and that no one else knows the basic botanical facts of either plant. “They’ve got tough white flesh”, is overcooked pork the same as an apple now?

You know, if his frame of reference for apples and potatoes is reduced to peeled, chopped chunks of each, I actually do see where he’s coming from. If you have a bowl of chopped peeled raw apple and chopped peeled raw potato they are superficially similar in color and texture, but no sane person on earth would use the peeled, chopped flesh of each as their model for what each food is, so he’s a retard who I suspect would have a mental breakdown over the crusts being left on his sandwich.

Both Yuddo and a potato are lumpy and misshapen and not terribly bright. Therefore, Yuddo is a potato with a beard.

Further thread of yashkaf doing an excellent job of explaining to people who still can't honestly perceive whether or not this was probably intended as a joke

No punctuation. "Probably" intended as a joke. Right.
There's no way he didn't start thinking about how to turn it into a joke back in 2016. He can't be that stupid, right?

"no apples, since those would require peeling to be eaten" ☚ Literal Yudkowsky quote

It was just a joke, little foolish humans, I can't believe this guy has to explain it to you. This is the man that wants to take away your GPUs.

Who is that guy anyway? Let me take a look. Seems like he has a blog, besides some of the most annoying opinions imaginable on twitter.
