Good for them that they manage to run a subculture without geeks, mops or creatives and only sociopaths. Their parties do sound extremely dreadful however. Like they are trying to recreate something with the lasting power of punk using only one hit wonders.

E: Unrelated, the whole crystal reference to, what I assume is meant to be soul gems is also quite weird. (For people who don't know, this traps a beings soul, which is then consumed (or send to a special hell) to power things (which yeah, seems bad), but it doesn't work on humans (or your regional equivalent) you need corrupted black soul gems for that, which is done by necromancers, who are considered to be pretty evil. None of it seems to be done consensually (you do not pick to go into the gem, you get killed and then they trap your soul, with a soul trap spell), even if the series is rather blase about the use of them. I know sociopaths (who might be the people writing this article in this case) are not really the types to care about the lore specifics, but you know

to be fair that was mclaren's original plan for punk rock and the sex pistols were a boy band assembled by an exploitative manager. he just got a bit more than he bargained for.

Sure but that was after punk rock was already a thing, and they already had creatives/geeks/mops. That the sociopath of the sex pistols is now a 'conservative is the new punk rock' still trying to shock his parents geriatric is a bit sad.

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.]
