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.]

"Child sexual abuse is at the same time an appropriate reward for a virtuous person, and an appropriate punishment for an evil person." — Eliezer Yudkowsky, our best hope for solving ethics

And also some unconscious ideas on what you should do with criminals. But im certain that Eliezer "master of noticing your biasses" Yudkowsky was fully aware of that. Right? Right!?
