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 had a coworker once who was vehemently opposed to lights on the bike path because, he showed us through a chain of impeccable logic, being able to see victims would make it easier to assault people.

But what about all these studies, I asked, showing empirically that lighting pedestrian/bikeways leads to less assault?

Nonsense data, he informed me. Correlation not causation.

Nothing at all to do with him living behind the path & not wanting lights. Nope. Just unassailable logic.
