General HPMoR sneer collection
(awful.systems)
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.]

I haven't seen STRANGE ÆONS' video about HPMOR here, so I'd strongly recommend checking that out
I enjoyed watching that, even as someone who really liked HPMoR.
I wasn't aware of a lot of the wider context around the author and the rationalist movement. For example, I read HPMoR with Harry calling all the wizards in the book NPCs as commentary about Rowling's writing (that her characters and magic system bend to suit the plot, as very few characters have any agency) so every other person at Hogwarts is an NPC, but if Yudkowsky actually believes that people who aren't rational are, effectively, subhuman, then that twists the interpretation of HPMoR rather dramatically. I'm still not convinced Yudkowsky thinks that, but it's disheartening to hear that some HPMoR readers basically founded a cult that does believe that.
Thanks for the link! I should check out his other videos. He seems like a really hoopy frood.
You should keep it that way; if you read more of his shit then his fascist proclivities will trip over themselves trying to convert you. But also it’ll cause psychic damage. So best to just avoid.
