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.]

oh, that they're fully aware of. (and other weird jkr-related fandoms, like “snapewives” (don't look)).
I'm sorry, whatwives now?
fwiw, that HP cult doesn't have a body count (that I know of)
Well that sent me on a dark rabbit hole...
(For those that didn't know, The author of Dumbledore's Army and the Year of Darkness is a scam artist and a cult leader. I knew that part already, but what I didn't knowwas how big the cult was at it's peak or that it was tied to a murder-suicide in 2011...)

And of course, sneerclubbers should know by now about the HPMOR to Lesswrong to Cult pipeline. (With MAPLE, Zizians and Leverage Research as most clearly cult examples. Dragon Army and Vassar's circle as cult-adjacent).
i'm sorry.
