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.]

Richard Hanania: rich people are biologically superior (www.richardhanania.com)

Hanania extends hbd logic to justify not only racism and sexism but to literally reinvent the concept of noble blood. Our billionaire overlords are so superior by nature that it's a failure on our part we don't give them even more free millions at birth to develop their incomparable awesomeness.

Meanwhile, in the real world, Elon Musk just publicly challenged Mark Zuckerberg to a dick-measuring contest.

George W. Bush is another example of class privilege that people bring up. But whatever you think of his policies, winning the presidency twice is quite the accomplishment...

Charles II of Spain is another example of noble privilege that people bring up, but whatever you think of his reign, being that inbred and still living to 38 is quite the accomplishment.

Bit recursive isn't it? Sure George Bush wouldn't get to be president if he wasn't from a rich dynasty, but he was president so he must be smart and talented.
