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)

I wanted to see what kind of person would defend Scott, but disparage Murray so..

ctrl-f "Murray" read quote related ctrl-w

I almost don't want to know what motte the author has set up to make Murray's hereditarianism seem "obviously correct" and "sensible". Are we supposed to ignore the cross burning and constant race science posting on twitter?

IMO, we don't want to poke the hornet's nest of Davis defending Murray, lest we get another 20k word sequence that we have to slog through to sneer at.

I'm so sorry to inform you...

(10,959 words... I don't think I hate myself enough to read this one all the way through.)

The second part of this blog post is irrelevant.

Question is, where does the second part begin...
