Rationalist check-list:

Incorrect use of analogy? Check.
Pseudoscientific nonsense used to make your point seem more profound? Check.
Tortured use of probability estimates? Check.
Over-long description of a point that could just have easily been made in 1 sentence? Check.

This email by SBF is basically one big malapropism.

while you appear to be directionally correct with your observations, are you aware where you're posting and who this sub is about?

because "just another rich asshole meme" is, unfortunately, not all this is. it might be that as well, but it is also something else.

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.]
