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.]

Kind of funny because while it is dystopian, it is so in a very... calm, ordered and non-threatening kind of way. While Dune is overall just hell. Nothing good about it. Except if you like being addicted. Then there's plenty
It's also kind of weird to see Atlas Shrugged on the list. Not because it's not dystopian because the only thing it's missing from its libertarian hellscape is realistic consequences in the form of bear attacks. But unlike the others the society isn't expressly said to be awful by the narrative. Or, for Scholtzenizen, by reality.
