Hurling ordure at the TREACLES, especially those closely related to LessWrong.

AI-Industrial-Complex grift is fine as long as it sufficiently relates to the AI doom from the TREACLES. (Though TechTakes may be more suitable.)

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.]

LW: [Request]: Use "Epilogenics" instead of "Eugenics" in most circumstances - people just don't like the word itself yes that must be it. Coined by Aella. (www.lesswrong.com)

Epi is a common greek prefix. It means "on top of" but can have extremely varied meanings depending on the word. And in your case, both words use similarly rooted greek words based on "logos". Logos can mean "logic" or "speech" or a billion other things.

Thats how "epilogue" can mean "the end of a text/speech/movie"(on top of/in addition to the text/movie) and "epilogenic" is not a real word but i guess can mean "using logic to decide".

Logos is definitely one of the cooler looking words, especially when written in capital greek letters ΛΟΓΟΣ. So angular.
