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.]

Never underestimate the rationalist's ability to write a 5000 word, extremely fanciful short story to make a point that could be compressed into 2 sentences, in a failed attempt to dismiss a strawman

and of course the story includes a cameo from the writer's opponents who are naive fools and proceed to doom the universe with their hubris (of disagreeing with the author)
