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.]

first rule is, there is no fuckin money in this shit, and if there suddenly is it's the rationalists

I'm sure there's a Donnie Darko meme about this

What is with this attitude of dismissing regular people’s opinions as “feelings” in comparison to their own rationality?

It's baked into rationality that if you don't agree with the core tenets of the movement it's a sign you aren't ~~doing logic properly~~ being objective enough, so it follows that that's how they see most people.

Also in this specific instance they need to ignore the decades of concerted efforts by fossil fuel profiteers with more money than god to suppress the science and spread climate denialism, because kissing the ass of the 0.1% happens to be one of those core tenets.
