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.]

it's outrageous the NYT called Scoot a racist like Charles Murray! also, Scoot agrees with race science, precisely as Murray does. Also, the leaked 2014 email is only outrageous if you hadn't read SSC (www.lesswrong.com)

it's stupid and i wouldn't have brought it up if zack wasn't such a fucking dick, but that's fucking rich coming from someone who's so high on their own completely misguided biological essentialism, at the exclusion of any social reality, that they think an apt and plausible way to pass as a woman in public is to use a full head silicone mask

alas, too much of a transphobe to know better

This is wild, there's like multiple essays worth of text and subtext in there. It almost makes me sad for Zack and his severe brain worms

If you haven't looked at the multipost silicone saga I'd personally avoid the guttingly sad combination of uncanny valley and dysphoric self-loathing and a weird amount of unexamined... well, I don't want to say misogyny. But it ain't great.

Reminds me of Rod Dreher in ways.

Until I came across a comics table hawking TransCat, the "first" (self-aware scare quotes included) transgender superhero. I had to stop and look: just the catchphrase promised an exemplar of everything I'm fighting—not out of hatred, but out of a shared love that I think I have the more faithful interpretation of. I opened the cover of one of the displayed issues to peek inside. The art quality was ... not good. "There's so much I could say that doesn't fit in this context," I said to the table's proprietor, whose appearance I will not describe.

a vile thing to write at any time, but to do so within this post in particular is just incredible
