EA appeals to exactly that kind of really-smart-person who is perfectly capable of convincing themselves that they’re always right about everything. And from there, you can justify all kinds of terrible things.

Hurling ordure at the TREACLES, especially those closely related to LessWrong.

[Especially don't debate the race scientists, if any sneak in - we ban and delete them as unsuitable for the server.]
