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.]

Utilitarian brainworms or one of the many very real instances of a homicidal parent going after their disabled child? I can't decide, but it's a depressing read.

May end up on SRD, but you read it here first.

Rejoice, in the real world we are already euthanising young people who couldn't get over severe trauma in a few years.

that is a lot of suffering and I'm glad someone in that much pain can address it how they choose

i'm not

edit: i mean, to be less pithy; in the vast majority of these cases, "choice" is an illusion, there is intense pressure directed at the disabled and there is nothing to be glad about when you see a society offer death before they offer genuine help and accommodation. and i don't even want to contemplate the particular politics of this one.

yeah, the pithyness about your preference having had control over my life is not really appreciated. I understand your point of view tho
