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.]

I know mine. I took an IQ test in my early 20s and got a high score on it. Didn't mean a whole lot for me, I had already dropped out of highschool, then I drunked out of college and wound up fixing trash trucks for 10 years.
