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.]

saw this pointed out here and felt it deserved it's own post

let me mention that this is exactly the sort of argument I've seen pedophilia enthusiasts break out many times:

hmm, we thoughtful inquirers should look at this incredibly tenous evidence I've curated. it raises questions about whether we should be superrrrr chill about sex with children. questions with answers that, I'm sold on!

WHY ARE THEY DOING THOUGHT EXPERIMENTS THERE ARE REAL CHILD MARRAIGE SURVIVORS OUT THERE THEY CAN READ ABOUT

Same reason they don't talk to any of the minorities they Bayes about all day long: everything is a thought experiment to them because of their extremely sheltered lives and there's no way they're going to talk to some blue hair SJW, scary poor, or dumb immigrant. They'd be too woke, stupid and biased to be worth hearing from, anyway.

they want to think about fucking children without feeling bad, so they're doing the libertarian "what if the child consents tho" argument. because they're rationalists they have to rephrase it in their preferred format to be allowed to ingest it, so now it's "what if the utils consent tho"
