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'm called a Nazi because I happily am proud of white culture. But every day I think fondly of the brown king Cyrus the Great who invented the first ever empire, and the Japanese icon Murasaki Shikibu who wrote the first novel ever. What if humans just loved each other? History teaches us that we have all been, and always will be - great

I don't trust musicians that I learn about via something other than their music and even after 4 years of knowing who they are I remain uncurious to sample any of the music they have created.

If a musician's music is never heard, are they still a musician? If they are not a musician, and not a nazi, then what are they?

in contrast, I did not forsee the trajectory of Grimes' views and personal life events after finding "Oblivion" to be a bop in 2012

@Shitgenstein1 But in retrospect…

Interesting point. I listen to virtually every kind of music that there is and my only interaction with Grimes has been to backspace over the "s" as I search for grime music like Manga Saint Hilaire or whatever. For a long time, Courtney Love was in this state for me, but I eventually listened to a little of her stuff.

Hole is actually great. A big portion of modern indie rock owes a lot to them IMO.
