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.]

I actually don’t find this a bad post

I fuckin' do, it looks like disingenuous trash sneaking in a pile of awfulness under cover of a facially plausible argument that was obviously never going to reach these bozos, as the comments amply demonstrate

but i'm sure titotal (who is active here) will be along any moment to explain how we've got him wrong

i'll also add that he completely misses how cults work. (intentionally?) all that jargon and doorknocking have additional effect of convincing cult members that everyone else is hostile to them

Lot of "culture war" red meat references thrown in there, and they still didn't go for it? Alas.

I spent a while reading this post, he has to be trolling right?
