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 mean I even get that you would use some embellishment for entertainment value. But if the person who made the play writes you and corrects you, you should stop doing that, esp if you are doing the whole Rationalism. But yeah, that isn't what the rich and powerful do, they make up shit and ignore corrections all the time. The power of being stubborn.

A while back somebody from themotte (when it still was on reddit) said about sneerclub vs themotte that the sneerclub wanted to do what is right, and they wanted to figure out what is true. And I often think about that when people in the Rationalist space do not really want to figure out what is true.
