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.]

Arguable whether a "capitalist class" existed in classical times.
We're not talking about classical times at all. We're talking about the Age of Enlightenment and a little after. But as for those classical liberals at that proper time? They're some of the first real capitalists.
TIL "classical liberalism" has absolutely nothing to do with the "classical" part, great, who the fuck decided to name it that?
@V0ldek @sneerclub The people who decided that they liked 18th & 19th century “liberals” a whole lot more than the modern ones. Basically Libertarians.
And yet they use humanism as a slur. Interesting, that.
