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.]

Would've been way better if the author didn't feel the need to occasionally hand it to siskind for what amounts to keeping the mask on, even while he notes several instances where scotty openly discusses how maintaining a respectable facade is integral to his agenda of infecting polite society with neoreactionary fuckery.

I suspect that race issues helped lead to the discrediting of IQ tests which helped lead to college degrees as the sole determinant of worth which helped lead to everyone having to go to a four-year college which helped lead to massive debt crises, poverty, and social immobility (I am assuming you can fill in the holes in this argument).

Q: why are so many people struggling economically today?

Normal people: billionaires are hoarding money, crashing the economy, and have dismantled all social safety nets so millions are stuck doing shitty jobs they cannot decline.

Turborationalist: IQ tests are unjustly maligned as racist :'(

What do you mean "crashing the economy"? GDP is doing great! Line go up! Just keep staring at the NASDAQ composite and you will surely be able to afford a house by the time it hits $20k.
