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).

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.]
