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.]

Is it wrong to hope they manage to realize one of these libertarian paradise fantasies? I'd really love to see how quickly it devolves into a Mad Max Thunderdome situation.

Are there any bears nearby? I'm looking forward to another wildlife infiltration.

(In measured david attenborough voice) Ahh, the majestic bear. A natural consequence and counterpoint to libertarian enclaves.

Well, Bears hate libertarians, with a passion, and for a good reason. What a lot of people don't know is that, like elephants, they have very good memories, this is in addition to being very protective of their smaller kin. So Walter Block really fucked up when he included a cartoon making fun of twinks in his book Defending the Undefendable.
