Hurling ordure at the TREACLES, especially those closely related to LessWrong.
Posts or links discussing our very good friends should have "NSFW" ticked (Nice Sneers For Winners).
AI-Industrial-Complex grift is fine as long as it sufficiently relates to the AI doom from our very good friends.
This is sneer club, not debate club. Unless it's amusing debate.
[Especially don't debate the race scientists, if any sneak in - we ban and delete them as unsuitable for the server.]

"Yeah, they're good people; we would hang out more, but my brain isn't leaking out of my ears"
Not to get too corny about it, but there are people in this world who think “don’t condescend” means “be nice about other people’s shortcomings” and people who think it means “you might fucking learn something if you would just stop condescending to people you perceive as having shortcomings”, and the first group is completely oblivious to the difference
Which is fine, actually, kind of. It certainly takes genuine work if for whatever reason you grew up to see things in a particular way. But it’s also completely not fucking fine that there are so many people going about their lives pontificating on the world without a shred of the requisite humility.
