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.]

That famous shtetl "feminists attack nerds :((( because they're easy targets >:((" is worse in context . The blog post was about how Harvard were wrong to take down videos of physics lectures by a sexual harrasser they just sacked, because they were really good physics lectures you guys. And there were all these appalling comments that Scott didn't give any pushback to - instead, he lit into the one woman in the comments section. for suggesting that nerds commit sexual offences.

I think it was Walter Lewin of MIT, not Harvard
