two things: one, limited bureaucracy is not only good, it's required for an institution to thrive. second, we only have bostrom's word on the reasons, and i wouldn't trust the motherfucker even with grating cheese (that is other colour than white).

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.]
