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.]

amazing how much shittier it is to be in the rat community now that the racists won. before at least they were kinda coy about it and pretended to still have remotely good values instead of it all being yarvinslop.

it would be nice to be able to ever invite rat friends to anything but half the time when I've done this in the last year they try selling people they just met on scientific racism!

first time i spoke to a rationalist about the AI doom thing in 2010, he tried to sell me on scientific racism

yudkowsky was making posts literally of race scientist talking points in 2007

Scientific racism doesn't exist.

Racism is unscientific, it is purely emotional and not based on reality or statistics if you dig deep enough.

You can call it scientific-sounding racism though.

I call it: "scientific" racism. To me that gets the point across the best.
