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 don’t really get the sneer here, he mentions population control at a time when it was widely believed that overpopulation was a looming problem
that the eugenics was mainstream doesn't make it not eugenics tho, or mean that it wasn't bad then too
No, but Singer does mean stuff like “supply birth control to people who don’t have birth control” and “make them rich and educated so they have fewer kids” which eugenics or not is a real policy response by governments which had to deal with famine pursued
singer's a fucking eugenicist though (as any disabled person would tell you).
Right, so go after him for that!
i mostly keep noting that he's not a serious person and should not be treated as such.
