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.]

Shit like this is exactly why I'm skeptical of FTX boy's Adderall prescription.

my view of that is that the judge specifically ordered MDC Brooklyn to give Sam his duly prescribed meds, also fuck MDC Brooklyn. But also, I concur that Sam and Caroline ensured a supply of legally prescribed medications, and tweeted about how much they were into their speed, based specifically on this essay.

My general assumption is that ADHD is both underdiagnosed and overdiagnosed but I'm generally chill about it and not a gatekeeper. But the recent shortages and delays have me a little more on edge about it.
