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.]

Oversimplified edgelord's guide to building an actual DnD litch/KKK style death cult for the ultimate nefarious purpose of… what? Getting to feel cool for once in your life or whatever? There are less embarrassing ways to boost your self esteem you know?
I like hooded cloaks, wavy ceremonial daggers and pretend wizard shit as much as the next person but I've come to despise all kinds of sincere SEKRIT KLUB type shit from student fraternities to even more nazi possibly student fraternities.

Somewhat akin to the e-libertarians who are convinced they will assume the role of dominant survivor slash ruling class once the pesky government collapses and gets out of their way.
