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.]

This is some unsettling shit (read until the end)
It takes on different readings when you don't realise these are fascists and when you do
I can't read in in a way that doesn't sound at least 7/10 fashy.
Well aykshuyally Yarvin is a reactionary, not a fascist. And also he doesn't like Hitler, because he was a dumdum: https://types.pl/@graydon/109938235313739307
@kuna I can't really take Curtis seriously, but he did make ONE good point (in private email): the entire spectrum of political discourse today, from anarchists through communists to nazis, is built atop the wreckage of the Ancien Regime, which no longer exists: we're all children of the century of revolutions (the 17th-18th). Ofc. that's before he goes off the rails and tries to drag us all kicking and screaming back to the Divine Right of Kings …
@kuna Hi, long-time reader, first time poster here. Is the Antiversity the same as the Basilisk?
nuh. the idea is that the Antiversity will be the command and control structure of the reactionary society just as the University is the command and control structure of the Cathedral society.
now you might think "that's not what universities do at all", but you would be correct
Hoare thinks Urbit was intended to be the Antiversity, the communications network for the fash uprising. I can see how Yarvin might have thought that.
has he confused the entire university for the football games my university kept spending all their research grants and alumni donations on? cause the cathedral being nothing but the jocks who shoved Yarvin into a locker makes way too much sense
Probably stems from the altright concept that universities are indoctrination centers designed to homogenize entire generations to liberal thought.
Headcanon updated: yarvin’s life story is this now
nope, in fact I’m pretty sure Yarvin never concretely defines the term. Graydon in the linked thread or our own @dgerard@awful.systems may have more quotes from Yarvin trying to describe the thing, but for now I’ve decided that the antiversity is a university for ants
It's the trade school they send all the drones through after they hatch
