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.]

Taleb dunking on IQ “research” at length. Technically a seriouspost I guess.

High-end stats is kind of Taleb’s thing, so he gets to be as insufferable as he likes dunking on IQiots imo.

@pja @dgerard Taleb’s like that with just about anyone he dislikes for whatever reason tho, so it’s not just about high-end stats or the caliper-curious.
