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.]

it's outrageous the NYT called Scoot a racist like Charles Murray! also, Scoot agrees with race science, precisely as Murray does. Also, the leaked 2014 email is only outrageous if you hadn't read SSC (www.lesswrong.com)

69 minute read.

That is not nice.

Reminds me of the poetic reaction to the epic poem (1400+ lines) about May by Herman Gorter. In reaction to this Hendrik de Vries wrote: (Loosely translated, with the ABBBA rhyme scheme destroyed, im sorry)

"Gorter, Gorter!

I wanted to read your Maycanto

But soon I was afraid

That I, before I died, would not be able to finish it.

Shorter! Shorter! Shorter!"

OG in Dutch: "Gorter, Gorter!

'k Heb uw Meizang willen lezen

Maar begon al gauw te vrezen

Dat het, voor mijn dood, niet uit zou wezen.

Korter! Korter! Korter!"

Not that relevant, but I always thought it was a fun story, and it is a nice piece of poetic shade thrown.

Edit: formatting eurgh.
