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.]

Is he still taking clients or did he go full into writing for cryptofascists full time?

i have no idea, but why wouldn't he? psychiatrist career pays handsomely on its own, you don't need grift-centered superstructure

He made a big deal about how his career would be ruined and he'd have to stop his public practice if he was "doxxed"

well look, now it's public knowledge, and not since yesterday

i have a sneaking suspiction that he wanted to stay moderately low profile (to public) and/or avoid broad criticism. his clinic page is one search away if you type "scott siskind md"
