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.]

The false dichotomy between "material/biology/physics-based" and "metaphysical i.e. fake" is everywhere in everything lesswrong outputs yet it never fails to annoy me. Sometimes I wish I could take these people aside and bully some sense into them, but due to their nazi leanings maybe being selfdestructively wrong and stupid is a fitting punishment.
you would almost think these people were doing philosophy while deliberately learning fuck all about it
They skim read some utilitarianism, which is a limited school of thought (if it has any value at all), and jumped straight to "fuck yes! This is everything!"
"at last! I can do some really telling thought experiments!"
This is very undergraduate.
ties big yud and scott up in her basement, forces them to go through the critique of pure reason giving them a werther's every time they manage to genuinely engage with the ideas
scott's undergrad degree, he FUCKING MAJORED IN PHILOSOPHY
