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.]

Zack Weinersmith has Ashkenazi ancestry, wrote a book with GMU economist Bryan Caplan, and seems sad all the time, which look like LW-friendly demographics, but I don't believe he would be kind to their nonsense! I can see him knowing the online side of the movement and not recognizing that the physical community in California is the really dangerous part.
I honestly can't bring myself to care whether The Last Psychiatrist is a Rationalist, Post-Rationalist, or just Basilisk-curious. I could read real books, on paper, by actual experts, with fact-checking instead.
