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.]

I have now clicked around some donkey sanctuary websites and am starting to feel emotional. I am sure this is what rationalists are afraid of but God the donkeys....

Yeah, I landed on https://www.thedonkeysanctuary.org.uk/ and god it's so much more professional and action-y compared to literally all the stuff on LW.

But maybe one day we will see a similar site for the shrimps.

the donkey people may not have picked their cause because it was the most rational, but that doesn't seem to have stopped them from coming up with good ideas. it's almost as if people can be more effective when they're working for causes they're emotionally connected to....
